Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics

Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics or Quantum Theory deals with interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, a mathematical model for predicting the behaviors of physical microscopic particles.

Mathematically, the theory is well understood, however, there is disagreement among physicists and philosophers what kind of a world it describes. Disagreement centers on the question of what a microscopic world, which affects our apparatuses in the prescribed manner, is, or even could be, like intrinsically; or how those apparatuses could themselves be built out of microscopic parts of the sort the theory describes.
