from Part I - Quantum Foundations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 November 2024
We start with discussion on Bohr’s response to the EPR argument andexplain how Bohr was able to sail between Scylla (incompleteness) andCharybdis (nonlocality) towards the consistent interpretation of quantumtheory. We call the latter the Bohr interpretation and distinguish it fromthe commonly used orthodox Copenhagen interpretation. We point to connectionbetween the complementarity principle and the information interpretationof QM and briefly discuss its versions, starting withSchrödinger and continuing to the information quantization interpretation(Zeilinger, Brukner), QBism (Fuchs et al.), reality without realism (RWR,Plotnitsky), the Växjö interpretation (Khrennikov), and derivations of thequantum formalism from the information axioms (e.g., D’Ariano et al.). Oneof the main distinguishing features of the information interpretation is the possibility of structuring thequantum foundations without nonlocality and spooky actionat a distance.
