论文摘要

本文比较并将关系量子力学(RQM)与实用主义量子理论(DP)的观点进行了比较。我首先要解释重要的一致性点。然后,我将指出RQM面临的两个问题,并为DP解决了类似问题的解决方案。由于RQM和DP都采用了Born规则来需要相对事实,因此我接下来说这些可能是什么。这使我对RQM的主要反对意见为最初被认为 - 其相对事实的本体论与科学客观性不相容,并削弱了量子理论的证据基础。相比之下,DP的相对事实具有我们接受量子理论作为科学知识的所有客观性。但是,最近对RQM的修改成功地解决了我的主要反对意见,使这两个观点更加紧密。

This paper compares and contrasts relational quantum mechanics (RQM) with a pragmatist view of quantum theory (DP). I'll first explain important points of agreement. Then I'll point to two problems faced by RQM and sketch DP's solutions to analogous problems. Since both RQM and DP have taken the Born rule to require relative facts I next say what these might be. This brings me to my main objection to RQM as originally conceived -- that its ontology of relative facts is incompatible with scientific objectivity and undercuts the evidential base of quantum theory. In contrast DP's relative facts have all the objectivity we need to accept quantum theory as scientific knowledge. But a very recent modification to RQM has successfully addressed my main objection, bringing the two views into even closer alignment.
