Limits of reductionism and the measurement problem

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In the paper, I tackle the following questions: Could the difficulty in solving the Schrödinger equation for an arbitrarily large system be a reflection of some nature's intrinsic property? And if so, could this difficulty be a resolution to the measurement problem?
