A newly published article explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation, the quantum mechanics reading proposed by Hugh Everett III in 1957. It explains unitary evolution, decoherence, the Born rule and the preferred basis problem, and contrasts the interpretation with the Copenhagen interpretation, pilot wave theory and QBism. It also highlights that MWI makes no unique predictions, a long-standing criticism of the approach.

Why now: Physics enthusiasts are sharing an in-depth new explainer on a perennially debated interpretation of quantum mechanics.
