论文摘要
物理学中很少有东西像冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）的倒塌假设一样引起了太多的手吹。冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）无法数学地得出它，将其归因于与观察者的大脑相互作用！很少有物理学家同意，但是冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）的测量理论的调整并没有导致崩溃，而Shimony和Brown证明了定理，确定了“量子测量问题的不可溶性”。提出了许多对量子力学的“解释”，没有达成共识，一些学者建议量子力学的基础开始是有缺陷的。然而，在过去的90年中，没有人研究冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）到达了他的崩溃假设！ 冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）基于康普顿（Compton）和西蒙（Simon）的实验。但是，通过比较冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）的书和康普顿·西蒙（Compton-Simon）论文的读物，我们发现该实验没有提供崩溃假设的证据。冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）完全误解了它！我们建议冯·诺伊曼（Von Neumann）依靠他的惊人记忆，而不是印刷的康普顿 - 西蒙（Compton-Simon）纸，他的记忆使他失败了一次。我们的发现对物理具有相当大的影响，在这里简要概述 - 将在其他地方进行详细讨论。附录为物理史学家提出了一些问题。
Few things in physics have caused so much hand-wringing as von Neumann's collapse hypothesis. Unable to derive it mathematically, von Neumann attributed it to interaction with the observer's brain! Few physicists agreed, but tweaks of von Neumann's measurement theory did not lead to collapse, and Shimony and Brown proved theorems establishing `the insolubility of the quantum measurement problem'. Many different `interpretations' of quantum mechanics were put forward, none gained a consensus, and some scholars suggested that the foundations of quantum mechanics were flawed to begin with. Yet, in the last ninety years, no-one looked into now von Neumann had arrived at his collapse hypothesis! Von Neumann based his argument on the experiment of Compton and Simon. But, by comparing readings from von Neumann's book and the Compton-Simon paper, we find that the experiment provides no evidence for the collapse hypothesis; von Neumann had misread it completely! We suggest that von Neumann had relied on his phenomenal memory rather than the printed Compton-Simon paper, and his memory had failed him for once. Our finding has considerable implications for physics, which -- briefly sketched here -- will be discussed elsewhere in detail. An Appendix raises some questions for historians of physics.
