| Copenhagen interpretation: The Copenhagen interpretation is a way of understanding quantum mechanics that emphasizes the role of observation and the uncertainty principle. It states that quantum systems do not have a definite state until they are observed. See also Quantum Mechanics, Uncertainty Principle, Observation._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hennig Genz on Copenhagen Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments
II 116 Copenhagen interpretation/Bohr/Genz: the Copenhagen interpretation was an interpretation not as a physical, but as a logical theory. Thesis: no object can have a certain location and speed at the same time. >Quantum meachanics, >Uncertainty principle. II 117 Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen/EPR/EPRVsQuantum Mechanics/Genz: it is possible to determine both the location and the speed. Genz: today VsEPR: the EPR was refuted by Bell. >Bell's inequality. EPR: supplementation of the microscope with a thought device which, at any distance from the device, determines location and speed individually and independently of each other, so to speak, by remote investigation using quantum mechanics. Reality/EPR/Genz: thesis: if one can predict the value of a physical quantity without disturbing the observed system, then an element exists in reality that corresponds to this quantity. >Measurements, >Predictions. GenzVs: it turned out that this is not the case._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
