Classicality in Quantum Mechanics
Olaf Dreyer
abstract: In this article we propose a solution to the measurement problem in quantum
mechanics. We point out that the measurement problem can be traced to an a
priori notion of classicality in the formulation of quantum mechanics. If this
notion of classicality is dropped and instead classicality is defined in purely
quantum mechanical terms the measurement problem can be avoided. We give such a
definition of classicality. It identifies classicality as a property of large
quantum system. We show how the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics is a
result of this notion of classicality. We also comment on what the implications
of this view are for the search of a quantum theory of gravity.
