- The Need For a Probabilistic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: Cause and Results (1989) [Updated 1 decade ago]
First of all, I think it best to eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding which might arise from the title of this report where mention is made of the need for a probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics. "Need" and "probabilistic interpretation" would be totally contradictory terms if I did not make it clear that the need in the title is not a causal and deterministic need; what I quite simply want to affirm is that the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics appears to be consistent with that way of regarding the evolution of physics which I intend to expoud on briefly further on. The probabilistic interpretation, in fact, appears to be the one which enables quantum mechanics to take on and sustain the role that such a viewpoint confers on it.
