Particles, positions and trajectories have an ontological interpretation. Bell's inequality and Aspect experiments have proven that the quantum world is non-local therefore any theories that don't predict the same phenomena is just wrong.

But there are testable consequences (see Deutsch experiment; if you choose the one branch option at some point there are some macro superpositions you will not allow).<br /><br />http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.4580steve hsuhttp://duende.uoregon.edu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-53218593844745088992012-08-08T10:12:55.150-04:002012-08-08T10:12:55.150-04:00I don't see why just a single branch of the MW...I don't see why just a single branch of the MW wave function as the only thing existing is not an equally if not more minimal interpretation of QM.Carson Chownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-3338891784753854692012-08-07T21:53:52.754-04:002012-08-07T21:53:52.754-04:00The slides labeled "Born Rule" at the li...The slides labeled "Born Rule" at the link might help: http://duende.uoregon.edu/~hsu/talks/benasque_2010.pdfsteve hsuhttp://duende.uoregon.edu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-23149326331999441782012-08-07T19:56:41.206-04:002012-08-07T19:56:41.206-04:00Hey Steve, nice post.

Im wondering if you could say in a few words why this is the case, because I hear this a lot and I have never been able to figure out what the problem is. It seems to me that there are only two measures that matter in QMCliffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-19281438721415597962012-08-07T11:53:53.838-04:002012-08-07T11:53:53.838-04:00I'm not an expert on Bohmian models, but IIRC ...I'm not an expert on Bohmian models, but IIRC they have problems with relativity and fermions.
