论文摘要
尽管是量子理论中最基本的对象,但物理学家尚未就量子波函数的解释达成共识。在广泛的现实主义方法中,量子状态被视为在物理变量的某些空间上类似liouville的概率分布,在这些变量的某些空间中,非正交状态的不介绍归因于这些分布之间的重叠。在这里,我们认为这种对量子不可区分性的解释是错误的。特别是,我们表明,在某些思想实验中,量子机械预测最大程度地违反了人类不平等的量与量子理论的所有本体论解释不兼容,在这些解释中,即使在其liouville分布的重叠方面,甚至部分解释了非正常量子状态的不可区分性。
Despite being the most fundamental object in quantum theory, physicists are yet to reach a consensus on the interpretation of a quantum wavefunction. In the broad class of realist approaches, quantum states are viewed as Liouville-like probability distributions over some space of physical variables where indistinguishabity of non-orthogonal states is attributed to overlaps between these distributions. Here we argue that such an interpretation of quantum indistinguishability is wrong. In particular, we show that quantum mechanical prediction of maximal violation of Mermin inequality in certain thought experiment is incompatible with all ontological interpretations for quantum theory where indistinguishability of non-orthonal quantum states is explained, even partially, in terms of overlap of their Liouville distributions.
