Sean Carroll

“In a modern university curriculum, when physics students are first exposed to quantum mechanics, they are taught some version of these five rules. The ideology associated with this presentation—treat measurements as fundamental, wave functions collapse when they are observed, don’t ask questions about what’s going on behind the scenes—is sometimes called the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. But people, including the physicists from Copenhagen who purportedly invented this interpretation, disagree on precisely what that label should be taken to describe. We can just refer to it as “standard textbook quantum mechanics.”
