THE QUANTUM MEASUREMENT PROBLEM

The measurement problem is not a case of the quantum formulas getting anything wrong. The Born rule, probability as amplitude squared, is tested to extraordinary precision; electrons fired one at a time through two slits still build up interference fringes, and merely having which-path information makes the fringes vanish. What has no accepted answer is why a superposition settles on exactly one outcome when measured. Copenhagen, many-worlds, Bohm's pilot wave and decoherence tell four different stories over the same mathematics, and no experiment yet separates most of them.

Quantum math predicts probabilities precisely (Born). But why / how a superposition "collapses" to one result on measurement has NO accepted answer — that is the "measurement problem". The interpretations below are HYPOTHESES.
