Abstract:What must an interpretation of quantum mechanics do in order to be considered viable? We suggest that one vitally important criterion is the following: Any successful interpretation of quantum mechanics must explain how our empirical evidence allows us to come to know about quantum mechanics. That is, an interpretation of quantum mechanics must be able to tell a sensible story about how empirical confirmation works in the context of quantum-mechanical experiments, otherwise the whole project will be self-defea… Show more
