- Abstract
- Everettian interpretations of quantum mechanics all solve the famous measurement problem—the problem of reconciling two apparently incompatible processes, the deterministic Schrödinger Equation, and the indeterministic collapse of the state vector, which govern the time-evolution of quantum state vectors—by saying that the appearance of the collapse of a state vector is merely an appearance, and that the Schrödinger Equation is the only law governing the time-evolution of the state vector.
