One of the most striking features of the epistemological situation of Quantum Mechanics is the number of interpretations and the many schools of thought, with no consensus on the way to understand the theory. In this article, I introduce a distinction between orthodox interpretations and heterodox interpretations of Quantum Mechanics: the orthodox interpretations preserve all the quantum principles while the heterodox interpretations replace at least one of them. Then, I argue that we have strong empirical and epistemological reasons to prefer orthodox interpretations to heterodox interpretations. The first argument is that all the experiments on the foundations of Quantum Mechanics give a high degree of corroboration to the quantum principles and, consequently, to the orthodox interpretations. The second argument is that the scientific progress needs a consensus: this consensus is impossible with the heterodox interpretations, while it is possible with the orthodox interpretations. Giving the preference to the orthodox interpretations is a reasonable position which could preserve both a consensus on quantum principles and a plurality of views on Quantum Mechanics.

量子力学及其解释：量子原理的辩护

量子力学认识论状况的最显着特征之一是解释的数量和思想流派的数量，对理解理论的方式没有达成共识。在这篇文章中，我介绍了量子力学正统解释和非正统解释之间的区别：正统解释保留了所有的量子原理，而非正统解释至少取代了其中一个。然后，我认为我们有很强的经验和认识论理由更喜欢正统解释而不是异端解释。第一个论点是，所有以量子力学为基础的实验都高度证实了量子原理，因此也高度证实了正统解释。第二个论点是科学进步需要共识：这种共识在异端解释中是不可能的，而在正统解释中是可能的。偏向正统解释是一个合理的立场，既可以保持对量子原理的共识，也可以保持对量子力学的多元观点。
