| Aug 25, 2022 at 4:39 | comment | added | Matt Thompson | The measurement problem and wavefunction collapse are problems with the Copenhagen interpretation specifically. It doesn't really emerge if you are willing to abandon the idea of point-particles and embrace wave-mechanics as fundamental, which isn't such a big sacrifice as point particles never made much sense to begin with. QFT does go some way to expanding on that idea with the concept of fields (no one takes Copenhagen seriously these days). Nonlocality is problematic as it doesn't play nice with relativity, but you could just as well argue that it's relativity's problem. | |

| Aug 24, 2022 at 18:01 | comment | added | Girish Kulkarni | For the uninitiated, here is a short and nice book that describes the foundational issues in quantum theory quite well: amazon.com/Foundations-Quantum-Mechanics-Elements-Philosophy/dp/… | |
| Aug 24, 2022 at 17:23 | comment | added | Girish Kulkarni | @Prahar: Thanks, but I don't quite agree. It would be long debate that we could perhaps have elsewhere. But I found this answer by Peter Shor quite interesting and insightful: physics.stackexchange.com/a/4152/92343 | |
| Aug 24, 2022 at 17:10 | comment | added | Prahar | There are no foundational problems with quantum mechanics. None of the things you mentioned are problems at all. Further, string theory is simply a special type of quantum theory so any feature of quantum mechanics is most definitely also a feature of string theory. | |
| Aug 24, 2022 at 14:10 | comment | added | Connor Behan | Those are problems with quantum mechanical treatments of everything. Including relativistic strings. | |
