Everett Interpretation and Quantum Concept of Consciousness

Volume 11 No 1 (2013)

Michael B. Mensky

Abstract

Subjective aspects of quantum mechanics (QM) are most radically expressed in the Everett's interpretation (EI) of QM which suggests coexisting macroscopically distinct configurations of the world in the form of a superposition of the (quasi-)classical state vectors. The components of such a superposition are often verbally denoted as “Everett's worlds”, hence the name “Many-Worlds Interpretation” (MWI) for EI. Explicit accounting the correlation of each classical configuration of the world with the corresponding state of an observer's mind yields the so-called “Many-Minds interpretation” (MMI).

Keywords
