Do quantum states evolve? Apropos of Marchildon's remarks
Ulrich Mohrhoff
abstract: Marchildon's (favorable) assessment (quant-ph/0303170, to appear in Found.
Phys.) of the Pondicherry interpretation of quantum mechanics raises several
issues, which are addressed. Proceeding from the assumption that quantum
mechanics is fundamentally a probability algorithm, this interpretation
determines the nature of a world that is irreducibly described by this
probability algorithm. Such a world features an objective fuzziness, which
implies that its spatiotemporal differentiation does not "go all the way down".
This result is inconsistent with the existence of an evolving instantaneous
state, quantum or otherwise.
