The Many-Worlds Interpretation of QM:
Current status and relation to other interpretations
The MWI solves the measurement problem, avoids action at a distance and indeterminism and does not contradict empirical evidence. The workshop will aim to promote the ongoing debate on the foundations of quantum mechanics towards consensus by dealing with the major open questions regarding the MWI and its alternatives.
Among the issues to be discussed: What is the ontology? Who am I? What is our world? What is the structure of the physical universe? Does self-location uncertainty solve the probability problem? Can the Born rule be derived? What are advantages of alternative interpretations? Do we need to modify the MWI of QM in view of quantum field theory? What are the Implications of MWI on quantum gravity and quantum cosmology?
