Quantum non-locality has been an extremely fruitful subject of research, leading the scientific revolution towards quantum information science, in particular, to device-independent quantum information processing. We argue that the time is ripe to work on another basic problem in the foundations of quantum physics, the quantum measurement problem, which should produce good physics in theoretical, mathematical, experimental and applied physics. We briefly review how quantum non-locality contributed to physics (including some outstanding open problems) and suggest ways in which questions around macroscopic quantumness could equally contribute to all aspects of physics.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Foundations of quantum mechanics and their impact on contemporary society'.
量子非定域性一直是一个研究成果极其丰硕的课题,引领着科学革命走向量子信息科学,尤其是走向与设备无关的量子信息处理。我们认为,现在是时候研究量子物理学基础中的另一个基本问题——量子测量问题了,这有望在理论物理、数学物理、实验物理和应用物理等方面产生优秀的物理学成果。我们简要回顾了量子非定域性对物理学的贡献(包括一些悬而未决的突出问题),并提出了围绕宏观量子性的问题同样可以在物理学各方面做出贡献的方式。本文是“量子力学基础及其对当代社会的影响”讨论会议文集的一部分。
