On the origin of probability in quantum mechanics
Stephen D.H. Hsu
TL;DR
This paper introduces the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and explores the origins of probability within this framework, distinguishing between objective and subjective perspectives.
Contribution
It provides a clear explanation of the many-worlds interpretation and analyzes the conceptual foundations of probability in this context.
Findings
Clarifies the distinction between objective and subjective probability in quantum mechanics
Discusses the conceptual basis of probability without wavefunction collapse
Provides accessible overview suitable for non-specialists
Abstract
I give a brief introduction to many worlds or "no wavefunction collapse" quantum mechanics, suitable for non-specialists. I then discuss the origin of probability in such formulations, distinguishing between objective and subjective notions of probability.
