I'm learning quantum mechanics and there's one thing

Have you tried resetting the router?

measuring=transferring the information

>What exactly is causing the collapse of the wave function?

Nobody knows. You take a measurement and then wave function collapses to a definite state, what causes that to happen, no one knows.

>>8575898
There is no such thing as wave function collapse

Wave function is a probability density (well not quite). When you measure the coin must be either heads or tails.

Actually it depends on interpretation, however the many world's interpretations is more plausible than the copenhagen

>>8575734
No collapse just interactions

How so?

if this isn't religion, nothing is

Non adiabatic interactions. Adiabatic in the QM sense is a bit different than the thermodynamic sense you might be thinking.

It has nothing to do with information/consciousness/memes of course.

One way to learn more is to look into what the people trying to make quantum computers are doing. Their main goal is to prevent wave function collapse and so they understand it better than anyone else.

Observation and manifestation (e.g. writing the output down).

No apparent reason but it seems more plausible and I like that, I don't like that Copenhagen leaves it's interpreters to suggest that something as silly as consciousness leads to wave function collapse

>>8576109
Religion is unfounded belief in the supernatural that takes precedence over the natural world, call it intuition but my gut tells me that the many worlds is much more plausible than "spooky action at a distance" it requires the creation of new laws that conflict with our current understanding of physical law.

There's only ONE thing you don't understand?

That surprised me! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!

>>8578203
Why don't you give us a simple description using mathematics then cunt?

>>8578203
Being good at math doesn't necessarily mean you understand anything autist

>>8578203
That is because the "casuse" of wave function collapse is a philosophical question.

The only sensible answer.

>>8578149
no, it leaves pseudoscience jerks saying that. no one with academic training who throws in with Copenhagen interpretation says that crap. that whole consciousness collapsing the function junk can almost all be directly attributed to physicists using simplified words and analogies to describe experiments to the idiot masses. phrases like "as soon as we look at" etc. crafted an idiot armchair philosophical movement of quantum mysticism. no experiments imply that consciousness plays any role in the outcome. if you throw in with Copenhagen interpretation, it's still fucky and leaves you with more questions than answers, but there's no implication of consciousness involved.

Yes! Thank you. Sometimes pop-sci does much more harm than good.

you'll get more out of schrodinger's books
