Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the thought experiment of ”Wigner’s friend” and point
out that new understanding should be made to Born’s rule and measurement
process: Born’s rule is no longer seen as a rule based on the history of the quantum
system’s, and the measurement results are no longer directly related to the state
of the measured object before the measurement. Inspired by Everett III and
H. Zurek’s views, we believe that Born’s rule reflects the coordination between
states of different parts in quantum entanglement systems, so it has nothing to
do with the history of particles themselves but rather with the historical records.
A new interpretation of quantum mechanics, objective relative state formulation,
or ORSF interpretation is proposed, which is a new type of pliot wave theory.
Under this interpretation, micro-particles can also be assigned definite states
before being observed. Based on this interpretation, Wigner’s friend-like scenarios
can be effectively explained. The new interpretation brings new perspectives to
many quantum phenomena. We also point out potential applications of the new
interpretation in the future.
