Abstract

Many scientists seeking to understand the quantum mechanics of measurement situations (Copenhagen quantum theory) agree on its overwhelmingly successful algorithms to predict the outcomes of laboratory measurements but disagree on what these algorithms mean and how they are to be interpreted. Some of these problems are briefly described and resolutions suggested from the decoherent (or consistent) histories quantum mechanics of closed systems like the Universe.
