Unveiled reality: comment on d'Espagnat's note on measurement
Ulrich Mohrhoff
Abstract
According to d'Espagnat we must choose between nonlinear breaks in quantum state evolution and weak objectivity. In this comment it is shown that this choice is forced on us by an inconsistent pseudo-realistic interpretation of quantum states. A strongly objective one-world interpretation of linear quantum mechanics is presented. It is argued that the weak objectivity favored by d'Espagnat is, in fact, inconsistent with quantum mechanics.
