[Phys-L] Quantum measurement problem



Hi,

The recent issue of Physics Today has an interesting article on the quantum
measurement problem. N. David Mermin recounts three typical responses that
physicists may have (the wording is mine):

1) There is such a problem.
2) There is no problem whatsoever.
3) The problem is not important.

Mermin supports the second option and provides interesting reasons for his
stance. Half of the piece seems to be available for free:

Do you agree with Mermin?
