Not the Measurement Problem's Problem: Black Hole Information and Schrödinger's Cat

Foundations of Physics @Harvard via YouTube

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking talk on the intersection of black hole information and quantum measurement theory. Delve into the ongoing debate surrounding unitarity in black hole information loss and its connection to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. Examine the speaker's argument for decoupling these two puzzles, challenging the notion that embracing non-unitarity can simultaneously solve both paradoxes. Gain insights into interpretation-neutral approaches to information-restoring solutions in black hole physics. Analyze the distinctions between non-unitarity in Hawking's original derivation and that found in collapse theories or generalized stochastic approaches. Engage with cutting-edge discussions in theoretical physics and philosophy of science as presented in this Foundations of Physics seminar at Harvard University.
