The foundations of quantum mechanics

JAN 01, 1964

F. G. Werner

What are the leading problems of quantum physics today? Where does reduction of the wave‐packet occur? Why single‐valued wave functions? To what extent have relativity theory and quantum theory really been united consistently? Does it make sense to speak of “quantum mechanical action at a distance”? What is the significance of electromagnetic potentials in the quantum domain? What does a leading quantum physicist have to say about the physicist’s picture of nature?
