The present essay aims at analysing some positions on the way of intending the wavefunction and its collapse, based on an epistemic and/or ontic reading. As far as quantum mechanics with the observer is concerned, I have taken into consideration in particular Bohr’s, Heisenberg’s, von Neumann’s, Wigner’s positions, outlining for them a form of ontological agnosticism, halfway between an epistemic interpretation and an ontic one. As far as quantum mechanics without the observer is concerned, I have scrutinized Schrödinger’s and Eistein’s positions, other than those of the primitive ontology approach, applied in particular to bohmian mechanics, highlighting their mostly epistemic interpretation of the collapse and of the wavefunction, together with their criticisms to quantum mechanics with the observer, especially on epistemic and ontic sides.
Nel presente elaborato, ho voluto analizzare alcune posizioni sul modo di intendere la funzione d’onda e il suo collasso, sulla scorta di una lettura epistemica e/o ontica. Per quanto riguarda la meccanica quantistica con l’osservatore, ho preso in considerazione in particolare le posizioni di Bohr, Heisenberg, von Neumann e Wigner, delineando per essi una forma di agnosticismo ontologico, a metà tra un’interpretazione epistemica e una ontica. Per quanto riguarda la meccanica quantistica senza l’osservatore, ho preso in esame le posizioni di Schrödinger, Einstein e dell’approccio dell’ontologia primitiva, applicato in particolare alla meccanica bohmiana, mettendo in luce la loro lettura perlopiù epistemica del collasso e della funzione d'onda, assieme alle loro critiche alla meccanica quantistica con l’osservatore, specie sui versanti epistemico e ontico.
Meccanica quantistica con l'osservatore e senza l'osservatore: il collasso della funzione d'onda tra prospettive epistemiche e ontiche.

Abstract
The present essay aims at analysing some positions on the way of intending the wavefunction and its collapse, based on an epistemic and/or ontic reading. As far as quantum mechanics with the observer is concerned, I have taken into consideration in particular Bohr’s, Heisenberg’s, von Neumann’s, Wigner’s positions, outlining for them a form of ontological agnosticism, halfway between an epistemic interpretation and an ontic one. As far as quantum mechanics without the observer is concerned, I have scrutinized Schrödinger’s and Eistein’s positions, other than those of the primitive ontology approach, applied in particular to bohmian mechanics, highlighting their mostly epistemic interpretation of the collapse and of the wavefunction, together with their criticisms to quantum mechanics with the observer, especially on epistemic and ontic sides.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
