Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics

To understand the measurement problem let's start with the famous Double Slit experiment.
In this experiment, we use an emitter to emit particles like electrons, photons, or any other quantum object.
These go through two narrow slits to impact on a screen that registers each impact.
When we fire particles without checking which slit individual particle is going through, we get an interference pattern on the screen.
Interference patterns indicate that particles are interacting with themselves just like a wave.
This shows that particles have wave-like behavior.
But as soon as we observe or measure which slit individual particle is going through interference pattern disappears and we get two bands; just what classical physics predicts.
It means that until a measurement is made particles are in a superposition of different states and they are present at every location permitted by their wavefunctions.

But why is it so?

Precisely done! Great efforts and a great video.🙌🏻👌

[tanishasaxena]

Way of explanation and the visuals are really very good. Keep up the good work 👌

An excellent and coherent (sorry, lol) explanation. I missed all of my physics teachings at school due to serious health issues, so I am starting from scratch 20 years later, and this really helps. I have realised if you immerse yourself in QM it all begins to come together and be comprehensible quite quickly. Plus, it's a lot more interesting than the legal profession.

I wanted to ask: how do physicists feel about philosophy and its inevitable intermingling with physics? I often get the impression that physicists don't like philosophers!

Between the slits and the screen we can usually place a plane of symmetry. When the electron or photon is detected, then symmetry is broken somewhere. The de Brogie-Bohm Interpretation has it being broken at the slits. I would say it is broken only at the screen. If we tackle this as a computer simulation, then we would have a big system of coupled differential equations with added randomness, and we need to model the process of detection as well, with the screen being treated as a row of detectors. I would expect to see the interaction of randomness and the differential equations leading to only one of the detectors being fired. The analogy is with broken symmetry in computer simulations of the Von Karman vortex street or rotating stall. My view should be invulnerable to quantum erasers since the entity passes through these only as a wave.

Awesome Video Presentation 💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰.
And In my opinion Please provide the corresponding Mathematical Equations in Presentation. ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🙏
I love this Channel. What ever
Physics Is Everything ❤️❤️

Wonderful. Thank you. I may be wrong, but I believe I have solved the Measurement Problem. Please click on the Channel Link above. The solution involves the fact that Measurement stops the interaction, that is, rate of motion is introduced, and, that mass when in motion offers up new volumes. It's not that complicated and solves many problems not only in the Quantum world but in the Cosmological world as well.

Deceptive for profit. The real measurement problem. I have a laser measuring device. It measures 150m, +-1.5mm. extremely accurate. But if I measure 10mm, +-1.5mm that is extremely inaccurate. The smaller you measure the bigger the measurement problem. But they will never be honest because lies earn more money.
