An alternative to test experimentally Everett's theory

Quantum Physics 2021-10-06 v1

Abstract

It is generally accepted that Everett's theory of quantum mechanics cannot be experimentally tested as such experiment would involve operations on the observer which are beyond our current technology. We propose an alternative to test Everett's theory which does not involve any operation on the observer. If we assume that the observer is of finite dimension, it is shown that Everett's theory leads to distinctive properties for the system being observed, and that such difference can be experimentally tested.
