On the origin of probability in quantum mechanics

Stephen D. H. Hsu

Published 2011-10-04, updated 2012-03-28Version 2

I give a brief introduction to many worlds or "no wavefunction collapse" quantum mechanics, suitable for non-specialists. I then discuss the origin of probability in such formulations, distinguishing between objective and subjective notions of probability.
