Quantum Objects

TL;DR

This paper proposes an alternative interpretation of the quantum state vector based on temporal parts of objects to better explain measurement problems in quantum mechanics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel interpretation considering temporal parts, offering a new perspective on the measurement problem and related issues in quantum theory.

Findings

Provides a plausible account of measurement problems

Highlights limitations of perceptual experience regarding unsharp reality

Offers an alternative to existing quantum interpretations

Abstract

In this paper, we suggest an alternative interpretation for the quantum state vector, which, by considering temporal parts for physical objects, aims to give an intelligible account of measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We examine the capacity of this interpretation as for explaining three measurement problems: the problem of outcome, the problem of statistics and the problem of effect. We argue that, this interpretation of the state vector, while providing a satisfactory account, as rationally plausible as its rivals, for the measurement problem, shows yet another limitation of our perceptual experience, i.e. our inability to perceive unsharp reality.
