• TITLE: Success and Incoherence of Orthodox Quantum Mechanics

  AUTHORS: M. E. Burgos

  KEYWORDS: Quantum Measurements—Time Dependent Perturbation Theory

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Modern Physics, Vol.7 No.12, August 22, 2016

  ABSTRACT: Orthodox quantum mechanics is a highly successful theory despite its serious conceptual flaws. It renounces realism, implies a kind of action-at-a-distance and is incompatible with determinism. Orthodox quantum mechanics states that Schrödinger’s equation (a deterministic law) governs spontaneous processes while measurement processes are ruled by probability laws. It is well established that time dependent perturbation theory must be used for solving problems involving time. In order to account for spontaneous processes, this last theory makes use of laws valid only when measurements are performed. This incoherence seems absent from the literature.
