the particle interpretation of quantum mechanics
Schrödinger
as the inventor of the foundation of quantum mechanics in the form of
the Schrödinger wave equation never accepted the statistical particle
Copenhagen interpretation of his invention.
I don't like it (quantum mechanics) and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it. (Schrödinger)
The
verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of
quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than
forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear
metaphysical model. (Schrödinger)
The
soothing philosophy - or religion? - of Heisenberg-Bohr is so clevely
concocted that for the present it offers the believers a soft resting
pillow from which they are not easliy chased away. Let us therefore let them rest. (Einstein)
