Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem Introduction (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, highlighting that measurement is treated as a primitive term within the theory. It explores the evolution of quantum mechanics from early developments by de Broglie and Schrödinger to the formulation of wave mechanics and the challenges posed by the measurement issue. The analysis indicates a gap in understanding what constitutes a measurement, impacting the deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics and leading to various proposed solutions to the measurement problem.
