Quantum Mechanics, Emergence, and Decisions

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

Abstract

I summarise some aspects of the relation between quantum mechanics and the macroscopic world in the context of the multiverse or Everett theory. I do so with particular reference to the results of the theory of decoherence, the notions of reduction and emergence, and agents' decisions.
