Frauchiger & Renner在最近的一项研究中指出，如果量子理论能准确地描述复杂的系统，比如进行测量的观察者，那么“我们就不得不放弃存在单一现实的观点。在回顾了弗劳希格-伦纳的论证之后，我认为量子力学应该被概率地理解为一种新的非布尔概率理论，而不是代表性地理解为一种关于物理世界的基本组成以及这些元素如何随时间动态演化的理论。我证明了这种理解量子力学的方式与理论的一致的“单一世界”解释并不冲突。(C)2018爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
In a recent result, Frauchiger & Renner argue that if quantum theory accurately describes complex systems like observers who perform measurements, then "we are forced to give up the view that there is one single reality." Following a review of the Frauchiger-Renner argument, I argue that quantum mechanics should be understood probabilistically, as a new sort of non-Boolean probability theory, rather than representationally, as a theory about the elementary constituents of the physical world and how these elements evolve dynamically over time. I show that this way of understanding quantum mechanics is not in conflict with a consistent "single-world" interpretation of the theory. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
