Popper's Experiment and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

An Overview of a Doctoral Thesis

About This Document

This document provides an introduction to a doctoral thesis titled "Popper's Experiment and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics," authored by Georgios Zouros and submitted to the London School of Economics and Political Science.

The thesis critically examines Karl Popper's thought experiment designed to test the interpretation of quantum mechanics, particularly its implications for realism versus the Copenhagen interpretation. It delves into the experiment's theoretical basis, its potential technical flaws, and its subsequent experimental instantiations, such as the one conducted by Kim and Shih.

The work aims to provide a robust defense of Popper's philosophical stance while scrutinizing the experimental results and their diverse interpretations within the physics and philosophy communities. It explores the complex relationship between scientific realism and the foundational questions of quantum theory.
