Causal versus orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics

A. Pignedoli

pp. 171-195

Abstract

The present work constitutes first of all a discussion of the so called "orthodox" interpretation of the wave function ψ of quantum mechanics and the so-called "unorthodox" related theories. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument, the theories of the hidden variables, and the inequalities of Bell's type are considered. Moreover the paper contains an exposition of the author's point of view concerning the validity of quantum mechanics. The meaning of probability (in the theory of knowledge) and of causality (within the ontological point of view) are discussed.
