What collapses the quantum wavefunction?

Category: Physics

Status: Queued

The quantum measurement problem asks why measurements produce definite outcomes when the underlying dynamics (Schrödinger equation) is unitary and reversible. Interpretations include Copenhagen, many-worlds, decoherence, GRW spontaneous collapse and consistent histories.

Whether the problem is purely interpretational or whether new physics (objective collapse) is needed is open. Experiments test ever-larger superpositions.
