Ontology of the wave function and the many-worlds interpretation
Lev Vaidman (ed.)
Cambridge University Press, UK (2019)
Abstract
It is argued that the many-worlds interpretation is by far the best interpretation of quantum mechanics. The key points of this view are viewing the wave functions of worlds in three dimensions and understanding probability through self-locating uncertainty.Author's Profile
