Abstract
The philosophy of quantum theory
Resumen: La teoria quàntica representa una de les fites més importants de la història de la ciència del segle XX, tant pel que fa a les seues implicacions teòriques i tecnològiques com pel que fa als problemes conceptuals que planteja la seua interpretació. Aquest article constitueix una revisió de les propostes interpretatives del formalisme quàntic d’ençà que la teoria es va axiomatitzar a les acaballes de la dècada dels anys 20 del segle passat. Aquestes propostes incideixen en problemes filosòfics com la no-localitat, l’indeterminisme, la probabilitat o el realisme científic, per a cadascun dels quals s’ofereix una resposta temptativa a partir de la interpretació del formalisme corresponent.
Abstract: Quantum theory represents one of the most important milestones in the history of science in the 20th century, both in terms of its theoretical and technological implications and in terms of the conceptual problems posed by its interpretation. This article constitutes a review of the interpretive proposals of the quantum formalism since the theory was axiomatized at the end of the decade of the 20s of the last century. These proposals rise philosophical problems such as non-locality, indeterminism, probability or scientific realism, for each of which a tentative answer is offered based on the interpretation of the corresponding formalism.
Palabras clave: Teoria quàntica, problema de la mesura, variables ocultes, molts mons, col.lapse objectiu.
