It has been proposed that the conceptual problems of the quantum theory could be, if not resolved, at least mitigated by a proper interpretation of probability. We rather show, through a historical and analytical overview of probability and quantum theory, that if some interpretations of the one and the other go along particularly well, none follows in a unique way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-19T15:24:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum theory", "probability", "conceptual problems", "proper interpretation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "fr", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
