A Realist View of the Quantum World

Abstract: A realist view of the quantum world This work was made openly accessible by BU Faculty. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters.Abstract A realist view of the quantum world is given along the lines of Werner Heisenberg's Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and set in contrast to that associated with John von Neumann by Henry Stapp. This view is distinguished by, among other elements: i) the notion of quantum potentia and its actualization which results in classical recorded val… Show more

“…Everything except the observed cog constitutes a set of experimental conditions called context 71 , so that delineation between the cog and this context represents a Heizenberg’s cut between the actualized conditions (classical side) and not yet actualized, i.e. potential state of the considered observable (quantum side) 72 .…”

“…As in physics, superposition state refers to possible outcomes of the experiment which is not yet performed 89 , 90 . As in physics, cognitive superposition does not mean simultaneous coexistence of excited and quiet neural states realized by some sort of quantum magic 91 ; rather, it accounts for a potential of transfer to new cognitive eigenstates in case the cognitive basis would be changed in a particular way 72 , 92 . (In our understanding, this parallel with physics is not yet complete since each mathematically possible transformation of basis to some other in cognitive case implies existence of linguistically expressed concept together with the corresponding neuronal pattern, identifying of which is not obvious.)…”

“…The need for the "observer" to be conscious is not supported by scientific research and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function and measurement. Once one has measured the system, one knows its current state, it has apparently decohered from them without prospects of future strong quantum interference [21,22,23]. This means that the type of measurement once performed on the system would affect the end state of the system.…”
