Quantum indeterminacy
Philosophy Compass 16 (4):e12731 (2021)
Abstract
This paper explores quantum indeterminacy, as it is operative in the failure of value‐definiteness for quantum observables. It first addresses questions about its existence, its nature, and its relations to extant quantum interpretations. Then, it provides a critical discussions of the main accounts of quantum indeterminacy.Author Profiles
