The measurement problem concerns an apparent conflict between the two fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, namely the Schrödinger equation and the measurement postulate. These principles describe inconsistent behavior for quantum systems in so-called “measurement contexts.” Many theorists have thought that the measurement problem can only be resolved by proposing a mechanistic explanation of (genuine or apparent) wavefunction collapse that avoids explicit reference to “measurement.” However, I argue here that the measurement problem dissolves if we accept Humeanism about laws of nature. On a Humean metaphysics, there is no conflict between the two principles, nor is there any inherent problem with the concept of “measurement” figuring into the account of collapse.

Humeans 不存在测量问题

测量问题涉及量子力学的两个基本原理之间的明显冲突，即薛定谔方程和测量假设。这些原则描述了量子系统在所谓的“测量环境”中的不一致行为。许多理论家认为，测量问题只能通过提出（真正的或表观的）波函数坍缩的机械解释来解决，避免明确提及“测量”。然而，我在这里争辩说，如果我们接受关于自然法则的休谟主义，那么测量问题就会消失。在休谟形而上学上，这两个原则之间没有冲突，将“测量”概念纳入崩溃的解释也没有任何内在问题。
