The many-worlds interpretation removes the collapse hypothesis; the wave function always evolves unitarily according to the Schrödinger equation, and all possible measurement outcomes are realized in branching universes.

UnverifiedThe many-worlds interpretation holds that the wave function never collapses and that every possible outcome continues to exist, distributed across different branches of reality — these branches are not the extra spatial dimensions of string theory.79% similarUnverifiedThe many-worlds interpretation sidesteps the measurement problem by abolishing the collapse postulate, holding that measurement is simply a natural consequence of quantum entanglement.78% similarUnverifiedIn standard quantum mechanics, the wave function evolves deterministically according to the Schrödinger equation, but collapses upon measurement, randomly yielding a definite outcome.78% similarUnverifiedQuantum mechanics describes particles with a mathematical object called the wave function, which evolves like a wave until a measurement occurs; this wavelike evolution predicts the interference pattern observed in the double-slit experiment.70% similarUnverifiedThe many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics was proposed by Hugh Everett III in 1957, arguing that quantum measurement does not cause wave function collapse but instead splits the universe into multiple branches.67% similar
