.
*FREQUENCY*
(the # of ‘occurrences’ of a ‘repeating event’ per ‘unit time’)
.
*WAVE-LENGTH*
(the ‘distance’ over which the wave ‘repeats’)
.
.
-the measurement problem in ‘quantum mechanics’ is the problem of how (or whether) ‘wave function collapse’ occurs-
.
(the inability to observe such a ‘collapse’ directly has given rise to different interpretations of ‘quantum mechanics’ and poses a key set of questions that each interpretation must answer)
.
(the ‘wave function’ in ‘quantum mechanics’ evolves deterministically according to the ‘schrödinger equation’ as a ‘linear superposition’ of different ‘states’)
(however, actual measurements always find the ‘physical system’ in a ‘definite state‘)
(any ‘future evolution’ of the ‘wave function’ is based on the ‘state’ the ‘system’ was discovered to be in when the ‘measurement’ was made, meaning that the measurement “did something” to the system that is not obviously a consequence of ‘schrödinger evolution’)
(the ‘measurement problem’ is describing what that “something” is)
(how does a ‘superposition’ of many possible values becomes a ‘single measured value‘?)
(to express matters differently (paraphrasing ‘steven weinberg’), the ‘schrödinger wave equation’ determines the ‘wave function’ at any later ‘time’)
(if ‘observers’ and their ‘measuring apparatus’ are themselves described by a ‘deterministic wave function’, why can we not predict precise results for measurements, but only ‘probabilities’?
.
(as a ‘general question’…)
(“how can one establish a ‘correspondence’ between ‘quantum reality’ + ‘classical reality’?”)
