On the interpretation of quantum theory - from Copenhagen to the present
day
Claus Kiefer
abstract: A central feature in the Copenhagen interpretation is the use of classical
concepts from the outset. Modern developments show, however, that the emergence
of classical properties can be understood within the framework of quantum
theory itself, through the process of decoherence. This fact becomes most
crucial for the interpretability of quantum cosmology - the application of
quantum theory to the Universe as a whole. I briefly review these developments
and emphasize the importance of an unbiased attitude on the interpretational
side for future progress in physics.
