Quantum Will: Determinism meets Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Physics 2013-07-03 v1 History and Philosophy of Physics

Abstract

We present a brief non-technical introduction to the standing discussion on the relation between Quantum Mechanics and Determinism. Quantum Mechanics inherent randomness in the measurement process is sometimes presented as a door to explain free will. We argue against this interpretation. The possibility that Quantum Mechanics provides just an effective description of Nature which is only valid at our low-energy scales is also discussed.
