Abstract

Frauchiger and Renner (2018) argue that no ‘single-world’ theory can consistently maintain quantum mechanical predictions for all systems. Following Bub (2017, 2018, 2019), I argue here that this is overstated, and use their result to develop a framework for neo-Copenhagen theories that avoid the problem. To describe the framework I introduce two concepts, ontological information deficits, and information frames, and explore how these may ultimately be fleshed out by the theorist. I then consider some immediate worries that may be raised against the framework, and conclude by looking at how some existing theories may be seen to fit into it.

新哥本哈根理论家还剩下什么呢

Frauchiger和Renner(2018)认为，没有“单一世界”理论可以始终如一地维持所有系统的量子力学预测。继Bub(2017,2018,2019)之后，我在这里认为这被夸大了，并利用他们的结果为避免这个问题的新哥本哈根理论制定了一个框架。为了描述这个框架，我引入了两个概念，本体信息缺陷和信息框架，并探讨了这些概念如何最终由理论家充实出来。然后，我考虑了一些可能对该框架提出的直接担忧，并通过查看一些现有理论如何被视为适合该框架来结束。

期刊介绍： Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics is devoted to all aspects of the history and philosophy of modern physics broadly understood, including physical aspects of astronomy, chemistry and other non-biological sciences. The primary focus is on physics from the mid/late-nineteenth century to the present, the period of emergence of the kind of theoretical physics that has come to dominate the exact sciences in the twentieth century. The journal is internationally oriented with contributions from a wide range of perspectives. In addition to purely historical or philosophical papers, the editors particularly encourage papers that combine these two disciplines. The editors are also keen to publish papers of interest to physicists, as well as specialists in history and philosophy of physics.
