摘要：
Quantum theory is a well-defined local theory with a clear interpretation. No “measurement problem” or any other foundational matters are waiting to be settled.
The answers to questions such as
- What is a physical theory?
- What are the preexisting concepts in quantum theory?
- Probabilities for what?
- What is state reduction? Do wave functions collapse?
- Is there instant action at a distant?
- Is quantum theory nonlocal?
- Where is Heisenberg's cut?
- How many interpretations do we need?
- Is there a measurement problem?
demonstrate the case.
简历：
Berthold-Georg Englert graduated from the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 1981. After 40 months as a post-doctoral researcher at UCLA, under Julian Schwinger's supervision, he returned to Germany in 1985 and spent the next ten years as a non-tenured junior faculty at the University of Munich. After seven more years as "physicists at large" with longer stays in various places, including Paris, France, Vienna, Austria, and College Station, Texas, he relocated to the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2002, where he is currently a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, a Professor in the Department of Physics, and a deputy director of Maju Lab. His research of almost four decades touched upon many aspects of quantum physics, including many-fermion systems, quantum optics, complementarity and quantitative wave-particle duality, and quantum information. His honors include the National Science Award (Singapore, co-recipient 2006), the Provost Chair in Science at NUS (2009-2012), and Fellowship of the American Physical Society (2015). He has published a series of undergraduate texts based on lecture notes prepared for courses at NUS (classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and forthcoming statistical mechanics).
