🧵 Wavefunction Collapse
Anonymous at Fri, 17 Jan 2025 23:20:39 UTC No. 16554459
Does it happen because of decoherence, observation, or some deeper interpretation of quantum mechanics I’m not parsing correctly? Copenhagen? MWI? Pilot wave? What’s the most no-nonsense way to frame it?

There's no wavefunction to begin with. It's just a mathematical tool we use to calculate the distribution of a large number of repeated measurements.

>>16554472
Sure, if we're going full Copenhagen, the wavefunction is just a bookkeeping device for probabilities. But isn't that sidestepping the question of why it works so well? If it’s just a tool, why does it seem to act like a real physical entity when you look at interference patterns or entanglement? How do you reconcile that with the many-worlds or pilot-wave interpretations that treat it as something real?

Probably Copenhagen if you don't dwell on it too much.
None of the explanations seem elegant when you spend a ton of time thinking about them, but Copenhagen is the most down-to-earth:
1. No magical parallel universes that somehow pop into being out of nothingness.
2. No magical shroud of quantum influence that hovers around particles.
BUT
If you dwell too long on exactly what an observer is, you'll probably start muttering to yourself.

Decoherence puts it in a incoherent superposition, and that is wave function collapse for all practical purposes. It isn't caused by anything special due to observation or consciousness or what have you, it is caused by interaction with a large number of degrees of freedom in the environment or the detailed microstate of the system. There is still a step going from an incoherent superposition to the actual definite outcome observed in an experiment that different interpretations disagree on, but whatever.

Neither of those interpretations add anything to our understanding or clear up any ambiguity in quantum mechanics. They just replace the mystery of wavefunction collapse with some other mystery, like other worlds we can't observe. I'm not saying there isn't some deeper theory which might explain some of the mystery of quantum mechanics, but I don't think such a theory will include an ontologically real wavefunction.

I get where you're coming from—both many-worlds and pilot-wave theories just move the problem around. But the wavefunction isn't just a mystery in itself, it’s a convenient model that predicts outcomes in a way that works (most of the time). If we're saying it’s not real, then what’s the alternative? What's actually happening when the system goes from a superposition to a definite state? If we dismiss the wavefunction as a real entity, are we just going to accept the same spooky behavior as 'it’s just math' and move on?

You're assuming that the system was actually physically in a state of superposition to begin with. We've never observed this, it doesn't even make sense physically, so there's no reason to assume it's anything more and mathematical and conceptual model.

>>16554565
Fair enough, but if the system isn’t physically in a superposition, then what is the wavefunction describing? If it’s just a conceptual tool for predictions, then what causes the sharp agreement between theory and experimental results? For example, experiments like double-slit interference seem to behave as if superposition is real. If not, what else explains the outcomes without invoking some hidden dynamics?

Philosophers had a similar dilemma when Newton proposed his universal theory of gravitation. Newton proposed a mathematical rule describing the force between two bodies that had no underlying physical basis. There was no string pulling the bodies towards each other, no substance pushing the bodies towards each other, no mechanism at all behind this mysterious force acting at a distance. Until then philosophers always thought of physical interactions in terms of direct mechanical forces touching each other, so they had difficulty accepting Newton's theory. I think we're in a similar position with quantum mechanics. There could be some underlying mechanism that is yet to be discovered, but it could also simply be the nature of reality we have to accept.

I think you misunderstood what the other anon said. The prevailing notion was that the motion of objects could only be influenced by mechanical contact. That a strange invisible "force" could have tangible physical effects seemed absurd. That's what he meant by gravity supposedly having no physical basis. The works you quoted of course were evidence to the contrary.
Anonymous at Sat, 18 Jan 2025 01:55:01 UTC No. 16554638
>>16554633
Got it—Newton's gravity challenged the notion of 'contact mechanics' and made people rethink causation. But even if Newton didn’t have an underlying mechanism for gravity, his model still had predictive power. In quantum mechanics, though, the predictive success of wavefunctions relies heavily on the idea of superposition. So if we dismiss superposition as merely conceptual, isn’t it like rejecting the essence of the theory while still using its math to get results? I get that we’re in the same philosophical limbo as Newton’s time, but QM seems harder to just 'accept' without probing deeper—because it challenges intuition at such a fundamental level.

I think we've pretty much reached the limits of our intuition with quantum mechanics. It's really only calculation going forward.
Anonymous at Sat, 18 Jan 2025 02:30:06 UTC No. 16554671
the whole reason wavefunctions are needed is because of experiments showing that when two probability distributions representing the position of particles overlap, they don't just sum up they interfere. collapses occur because when you take a huge amount of parameters in measurements, it's like adding a huge amount of quantum numbers, which is equivalent to leaving the quantum system and returning to the macroscopic system. i'm pretty sure the dirac delta function is what's used here, and that's how you converge to the classical point position probability.

Agreed, intuition hits a wall with quantum mechanics. But doesn’t that raise a deeper question? If calculation is all we have going forward, does that mean we’re doomed to treating quantum mechanics as purely instrumental? Or do you think there’s still value in searching for a conceptual framework, even if it’s just for the sake of coherence?

That's solid. It shows the bridge between the quantum and classical worlds pretty well. The idea of interference in overlapping distributions is key, but doesn’t the use of tools like the Dirac delta function in this context kind of reinforce the idea that wavefunctions are more of a mathematical abstraction than a physical reality? Or would you argue that the math directly reflects something ontologically real about quantum systems?

it's more about the fact that there is a wave-particle duality. under certain conditions you get particle-like precision. classical, newtonian notions of momentum can hold because you can measure mass and velocity fine without the interference creeping itself. but when you study each particle in isolation, getting momentum measurements leads to absurdities because you can't measure positions accurately. it's not so much tools were a limitation, or our models were a limitation, but that having certainty was a preconceived notion. my understanding is that on the quantum level, elementary particles don't have an exact place in space and time. everything exists AS probability waves. that's just what they are, and when you try to measure with certainty, you get paradoxical results. anytime a paradox occurs it's due to a false premise of some sort, and in this case it's exact energy, position, mass, etc. parameters known to a fixed value.

Anon, the list of non-physical things we use to accurately predict the behavior of complex physical systems could fill a textbook, or a few thousand.
Wave functions are just another mathematical formalism that's useful for predicting the behavior of a physical system; and it probably *does* have some deeper meaning to it in-so-far as *why* it works so well, but we don't completely know what that is yet.

the stochastic interpretation is hands down the best
1. its classical and no measurement problem, no wave function
2. its a mathematical formulation so its proven that it works
3. there is a realistic interpetation that quantum behavior comes from particles being pushed around by a background field. there are established classical toy-models using oil droplets bouncing on baths that produce quantum behavior due to a similar mechanism - when the bath is vibrated so that viscous dissipation is countered, the droplets start producing quantum-like behavior that seems non-local
the central mechanism in stochastic mechanics is an absence of dissipation which leads to all quantum behavior
this is far too much of a coincidence to ignore
this IS the correct interpretation of quantum theory but everyone is too stupid to realize

You cannot "debunk" the quantum eraser experiment, because the experiment simply highlights the fact of superposition, which is undebunkable. She only "debunked" the false conclusions that retards drew from the experiment (ie. broken causality)
Causality isn't broken precisely because of the properties of superposition. The particle is non-determined until measured.
Of course Sabine didn't dwell on that inconvenient fact, seeing that she's a QM denier and a pilot-wave heretic.

Why are non-local hidden variables considered a fringe interpretation? If you can't predict a system, it means you are not accounting for every variable, and if you have ruled out local variables, that leaves non-local. It's simple deductive logic.

Occam's razor, it's fringe because it's unlikely. Bell's inequality and its experimental confirmation rules out local hidden variables and theories that do not agree with non-locality. You are right that it doesn't disallow non-local hidden variables but it is then a quite a jump to then say that must then be the truth when there is zero evidence to support the idea or any reason for it to be true - it's needlessly complicated.

This whole thing is easily avoided if you drop the idea that "the speed of light is the fastest speed matter can move" and replace it with "the speed of light is the fastest speed which we can measure matter moving." Granted, this requires you to throw out a bunch of "physical laws" (which are mostly speculative mathematics pretending to be an empirical science). If you're comfortable with that, all of this requirement of superposition goes out the window. The "quantum effects" then come from the minimum resolvable quantized measurement resolution, not from some literal superposition.

and you dont need it if you just realize that quantum mechanics is about statistics

I think we're just gonna have to disagree here until large quantum systems are achieved. I predict that a noticeable dip in unpredictability will occur at some point as part or all of the hidden variables incidentally find themselves captured within the system. Like, if particles from 3 feet away are causing unpredictable behavior within the quantum system, then their influence will cease when the size of the system interior exceeds 3 feet and encompasses them.
In other words, I predict the inconsistent output of a quantum system scales based on the ratio of external surface area to internal volume.

They already exist. Everything you see around you is one. Everything is quantum but you only see it acting in a very particular regime of scale. There's nothing special about that. After all, until recently people thought temperature was something fundamental until thermodynamics came alone and we learned it was just a statistical aggregate. Our day to day deterministic existence is no different.

You have really poor reading comprehension. The whole point of what I was writing is that we don't need physical superposition if it's only the measurement process which makes it appear as if it's superimposed.
Consider, as an example, a sinusoid that oscillates at 1 Hz, which you then bin such that you have negative 1 if the sinusoid's value is positive, and -1 if the sinusoid's value is negative. If you are sampling once every 2 seconds, you'll get not only the oscillation but aliasing if you were to ever try to reconstruct this thing.
It would, with the presence of imperfect sample timing, appear as if you were seeing something that was simultaneously -1 and 1. The truth is just that it goes faster than you can measure (which, in this case would be limited by the speed of light).

at a fundamental level the only way to define something is the rules that express its behavior
Not that the rules align with what the thing is, but
The rules ARE the thing. The thing is the rules
and even with the probability aspect of it they're still rules in a sentence and even if our current models don't accurately define the rules as best as they accurately could still doesn't discount that there is a model, set of rules, set of constraints on how a thing will manifest as best as possible could.
And there is nothing that you can define that is more accurate than that set of rules. No matter how hard you look, so if you are to say a thing is this the only thing that you could choose is the model of the thing.

You can plot GDP as a curve on a cartesian plane, but you would never claim that GDP *is* a curve on a plane. That's just a mathematical model we use to conceptualize GDP. GDP in the real world is money, goods and services changing hands between people and businesses. Based on this mathematical model, we can say things like "GDP is going up", meaning that the curve is going in an upward direction when the plane is viewed perpendicular to the ground. But you would never conclude from this that GDP in the real world is going up. It's completely nonsensical to imagine that economic activity is going up. What would that even mean? Every time I give money to a cashier, I float up into the air? You can see that conflating real world phenomena with the mathematical models we use to describe them leads to incoherent understanding of phenomena. It's easy for us to avoid this error with phenomena which are accessible to our senses, like economic activity, but when we delve into more inaccessible phenomena, like the behavior of elementary particles, we become victims of attributing misplaced concreteness to abstract models all too easily.

I disagree with almost every aspect of this post.
All my statement was pointing at was at some level the idea of concreteness as someone would inuit it breaks down and the only things that survive are sets of rules/models. So if you were going to say anything is a *thing* you would use those models to define it.
So when you say an abstract thing doesn't make sense to say its concrete, yes, that is the point. But it still is a thing. so if you are going to say its anything what about the thing that defines it.
Additionally it's not nonsensical to say "GDP has gone up" you are talking about the output of a model that has many inputs. Saying the output has gone up while having trouble to pinpoint or attribute where the input has caused it is just fine.
Everything in all of existence is a set of systems sitting of the scaffolding of other systems. All consist of some state and how this state changes. And when I say state i mean at all levels of abstraction. How this state changes is our understanding, our rules, how physics works, how you interact with your toaster, how you converse with a friend, how your mind renders your room. A model is the way we express these rules.
If you don't think so tell me of something you couldn't fundamentally define as a system with an abstract set of rules expressing them. But if everything you find is still this, is it wrong to say that the description for the model describing the system is the closest we will get to seeing the thing bare and naked in front of us?

I would like to add, i don't mean all models are accurate pictures of a thing in all perspectives. I would say GDP is only an outline. Its only describing a thin perspective, thin aspect of a much more complex system. Its like to describe the height of something, then saying the height has gone up perfectly reasonable when describing that thin property/narrow aspect of the system. But that's as close as you a human can reason for some things. Doesn't mean there isn't a model that does describe it best.
When something is abstract it sits upon the shoulders of other systems, so it's easier to give a full definition as long as you stay above that layer.
Last thing i will say is everything you think of concrete is really just an abstraction. A system sitting on countless other systems. It still has semantics to it, it still has meaning to it, it still has a model describing it from the outside.

The last two paragraphs do sound like they contradict, but it was my pour attempt at express there is nothing truly concrete. The concrete is simply the layer of abstraction that our minds have evolved to sit on. It is the domain that our eyes react to. The wavelengths they become illuminated by.
I honestly like thinking of the level of abstraction a wavelength and the concrete is simply visible light.

It's true that we can only describe particulars in terms of universals, or concrete things in terms of abstractions. But that doesn't mean that every useful abstract model necessarily describes the actual phenomenon. It can simply be a practical tool for extracting useful real world information. For instance, the general equation of motion for a spring has imaginary components. We use this equation to extract real world information about the system, but there's no physical reality to the imaginary components of the equation. Because we have a physical intuition about how springs behave, we can avoid attributing misplaced concreteness to the imaginary components of the equation. In quantum mechanics, we lack this physical intuition, so we more easily fall into the trap of believing the mathematical model accurately describes reality.

Some scientists will say that it was their observation that caused the live cat/dead cat duality to collapse. I say that is pure egotism on their part. The system continues in a state of duality, with one version of the scientist finding a dead cat and the other finding a live one.
The wave function doesn't collapse until the janitor comes in that night and finds either a dead cat in the garbage. Or a scientist sitting there full of cat scratches.

No. Entanglement doesn’t mean you can send info between particles. You measure one, yeah, you know what the other will be, but that’s not "sending" anything. It’s just correlation, not communication. It's like rolling two dice—one might show a 6, the other shows a 1, but you’re not communicating anything between the dice. Same with entangled particles. The results are simply correlated, very strange, but no FTL messages, no breaking causality.

A printed map isn't the mountain, because the mountain is composed of smaller components. In QM, we're interacting with the most basic and fundamental entities that compose our universe. There's no longer a so-called "reality" that's separate from the model. It is the model. Dunno if you can understand this.

Why are you so bitter?
I'm discussing the abstract rules in which a system changes. A model is an observation and attempt to copy those rules, to observe how it evolves.
A thing is simply a pattern within the overall system.
At all levels everything breaks down into a set of rules on how a system evolves. How can this possibly be untrue? What is your counter example?
Even with absolute randomness there are rules on how it is weighted.
And if so, then the only true way to describe something is those rules.
So a thing can be defined by its rules. Everything can be defined as an abstract set of rules.
The idea that something is concrete is simply a construction created by our brains attempt to model the abstract data it receives from the rest of the overall system. Which itself is another system governed by abstract interactions.
I have never said that our current models are perfect descriptions. Our definitions aren't perfect descriptions. But if we had one then we would be defining what that thing is.
The way you talk down to me shows you are a lot more dogmatic closed minded people than me. Who cares more about promoting how right you are for your own ego than actually having a conversion where you explore a topic.
Weak behavior that comes out of nowhere other than the negativity in your own head.
All you do is insult and misrepresent what I said so you can somehow "win" a nonexistent argument.

Please review the definition of "abstract." No, it does not mean "forward of a scientific paper" in this usage. A *concrete* set of rules would be what is being pursued.

Ever heard the quip "Schrödinger doesn't understand Schrödinger's Equation"?
He himself was skeptical of some interpretations, like the collapse of the wave function, but he was wrong about it being just hidden info. His own cat thought experiment was meant to highlight the absurdity of QM, but QM has held up. He and Einstein didn't live long enough to see the performance of the Bell's Tests.

So the superposition is inferred by the next one being it again so the current one and the last one are the same position in the process everytime. Sooooo let's make those parts 2 at once and more interesting by testing the ones we put aside as maybes in as enzymes with inhibitors and amoxicillin with the ones we find.

They have to both be interesting but wait it will do a fuckin um I forgot this if you just about what I said I can work but if your practical it will negotiate the outcome to avoid stirring conventions believe me that! - x yes physical space will have a new law smashhhhed Newton's business plan and here. The law of quantum physics that counts is measurements collapse it and two interested wave functions that test this together transforms the wave function into a new form of light we never saw that is neither interesting wave functions logic (they will be similar anyway) and a new logic understands the new form so they gotta have a couple stray wavefunctions show up there too desu serious this is light humour now. So if that's true the next thing we discover is going to have to be now: superposition shows us photons so it's interested in both so interface and wave function so the next thing we discover is interest in the last ones it is until we measure it so it's interested in both the combine and the seperate so get that logic that would be (here now whoo) and look at both together at once and then when it happens they will unlock a new convention and take that interest write it too. Then with that interest go back to the first logic (wavefunction and particle) and take it through a step by step course to understand both logics in full and then determine what happens to the photon if you measure it while being interested in the new shit and the other part surely be interested in that shit too until the new one comes (doing it now in my head 2 secs) aha did the wavefunction won't collapse now chump scam gone superposition is measurable go do it I just went and did X all over again but I understand now that it's all at the same time to do it and one at a time (interference) was shit compared to hmm it's neuroplasticity I'm arranging them in my cherry pickers n shit and the stupid photons should be doing it too I'd say oi I get it these are fucking ideas from caves

heres one of the quotes in the book. i dont believe he is advocating it being a hidden local variable thing if thats what you are alluding to.
i could just be misunderstanding the exact meaning because a lot of the preceding text is complicated to understand even sans the math. but "the wave function is believed to embody facts" strikes me as indicative that he doesnt necessarily belief it to be the phenomena, but only the representation.
bells inequalities could still hold for a global hidden variable model cant they? assuming what ive said above isnt incorrect/misrepresented it is a fair statement to say the wave function only represents experimental data, yeah? regardless of whether schrodinger was incorrect about stuff

Decoherence, dis-entanglement, many world/everettian explanation of QM is likely closer to truth than copenhagen bullshit about permanent collapse.

Decoherence is complementary to the Copenhagen interpretation, which, unlike many words, doesn't abandon free will.
Many worlds interpretation is basically superdeterminism*infinite worlds. In each of these worlds, both locality and reality are preserved, at the cost of free will.
If you believe in many worlds you might as well believe in superdeterminism, they're fundamentally the same interpretation.

very interesting, because I constructed the same though experiment few months back. I even asked around here if the dude who observes collapses it for everyone else or it's still in superposition for everybody else apart from him.
but I am now suspecting it is not the observer which collapses the wavefunction rather the possibility of the information being extracted, which should count for anyone as "conscious observer". makes more sense but hey, I'm just a brainlet after all.
the issue with the Wigner's friend is it implies the conscious observer collapses the waves.

Part of the Abstract:
"If one holds fast to the assumptions of locality and free choice, this result implies that quantum theory should be interpreted in an observer-dependent way."
I think it simply confirms what we already know. If you already hold fast to locality and free choice (Copenhagen), then objective reality must be abandoned. So reality is subjective, ie. observer-dependent. >>16556583
Pilot-wave and superdeterminists dismiss this experiment, because they don't actually hold fast to both locality and free choice. They abandon at least one of them in favor of holding onto objective reality.

Copenhagen cant be together with decoherence, if decoherence is the explanation for collapse. You have to invent time travel nonsense for the delayed choice quantum eraser explanation. Its nonsense layered onto nonsense to explain the extra collapse. Quantum mechanics doesn't have the collapse built in. Its an added extra to explain coherence/decoherence step that which was never a permanent thing but rather only things that are entangled together interact with each other, if they're not entangled, then they become effectively invisible in almost all aspects. And because the wave function never collapses and only changes coherence, the many world function, the universal wave function which every particle is interacting with each other is the proper explanation and the only explanation. Nonsense about collapse, nonsense about time travel, nonsense about free will, these are not quantum mechanics explanation but lazy and ugly thoughtless answers.

Decoherence *isn't* an explanation for the collapse. Decoherence is about how a relatively simple wave function becomes an extremely complex and meaningless wave function. It's still a wave function and still doesn't collapse until observed. The collapse is separate from decoherence.

On a macroscopic level, decoherence makes the friend's superposition unobservable by entangling it with the environment, so the system behaves classically. For Wigner, in the strict Copenhagen interpretation, the wave function doesn’t collapse for him until he gains knowledge of the outcome. However, by that time, decoherence has already ensured that the friend's state behaves classically, so Wigner sees no practical difference between superposition and collapse.
This is why Wigner and his friend always agree, but the photon behaves differently because it remains in an isolated quantum system, unaffected by decoherence.

is it even possible to have macro objects in superposition in the first place? or are Wigner and his friend actual particles but used as Schrödinger's cat to make more sense to anyone reading?

Yes, in theory, macroscopic objects can exist in superposition. However, decoherence *very* rapidly destroys the observable effects of superposition. The largest things we've successfully done double slit with are C60 molecules.
In the original Wigner paradox they were humans, the experiment just replaced them with photons to show that it's theoretically possible for them to experience different realities.

wait, so how would you enter in superposition with everything else? fully isolating from interacting with any particle from it? how would you construct the superposition itself
Anonymous at Sun, 26 Jan 2025 22:38:17 UTC No. 16565536
Current theory says that the rate of decoherence can be slown down with less interactions and thermal activity. So in a vacuum at near absolute zero.

but you don't need to be in the vacuum, your environment needs to. like you get into a capsule which is then isolated from the rest of the world. just make sure no particles interact between the capsule with life support you are in and the outside? would it be that fucking easy lol

They already do many quantum experiments in vacuum at near absolute zero temperatures for this exact reason. Like the ones with superconducting qubits, for quantum computers.

thanks anon, I'll watch it. I'm still confused about the act of putting it in superposion. I get there has to be absolute no interaction so it doesn't decohere but after interacting you should be able to get it again in superposition. it's not doomed to never do it again no?

You can "put" a specific property (like location) back into superpostion by observing something else about the particle, which in this case would be momentum.

There are many ways to get entangled particles. For example you can shoot a laser into a BBO crystal, and sometimes a photon gets turned into two lower-energy photons that are entangled. The specific methods aren't that important for theoretical physics, all you need to know is the entangled particles have properties that are correlated.

>sometimes a photon gets turned into two lower-energy photons that are entangled
yeah I pretty much got that, they are created entangled. half energy each from original photon that hit the crystal.
I am interested in the process of taking two already existing things and entangling them, not generating an entangled pair from something else (like a single photon).

The answer to this question is worth more money than you can possibly imagine.
DARPa is working on solid state fusion, at least some of their undergrad projects are, and one of the issues they're running into is their ignition systems are entangling with the target bulk... and the sensors.

I can get any property of a particle in superposition by observing something else about it.
For example, I can get an electron's spin along the x-axis in superposition by observing its spin along with y-axis.

You can entangle two electrons by basically putting them together and taking advantage of Pauli's Exclusion principle. They end up in correlated states of spin up and spin down.
Technically in any atom, the two electrons of the 1st orbital are entangled with respect to their spin.

Did I say the current model is correct and perfect? No. I'm saying the only things that exist are rules of systems. There is nothing 'concrete'.
A computer program is defined by rules. Go one layer below - more rules. It's an observation that it's impossible to define anything except through rules and behaviors. These rules and behaviors exist whether we're here to observe them or not - they're fundamental to reality itself.
The religious thinking is denying this reality. No one claims 100% confidence the Standard Model is complete. But whatever lies deeper will be another model, another set of rules. Systems defined by behaviors. These behaviors ARE what things are. There's no other way to define them.
>>>it's just rules, immutable and we write them down
You're being intellectually dishonest. No one claims we're the grand arbiters of these models. We work with them because they make useful predictions. The phenomena exist independent of us, but the only way to define what something IS is through models of how systems change. All properties, every aspect, just define how rules play out. The rules themselves exist independent of our models - we're just trying to understand and describe them.

Internal confined fusion was considered weapons grade science and was classified as such by DoE up until 2020 when trump moved it into the public sphere--My guess is he wanted his Lockheed stock price to go up (which it has)
