The paper investigates the existence and the nature of quantum indeterminacy in a particular realist interpretation of quantum mechanics, that is, the Modal Hamiltonian Interpretation (MHI)-together with an ontology of properties for quantum systems. In doing so, it serves a twofold purpose. First, it advances the debate on quantum ontology by showing precisely how and why indeterminacy arises in a quantum world-as described by the MHI. Second, it offers a naturalistic example of genuine metaphysical indeterminacy, an example coming from our best physics.
本文探讨了在量子力学的一种特殊现实主义解释——模态哈密顿诠释(MHI)——以及量子系统的属性本体论中,量子不确定性的存在和本质。这样做有两个目的。首先,它通过精确地展示 MHI 所描述的量子世界中不确定性是如何以及为何产生的,推进了关于量子本体论的争论。其次,它提供了一个来自我们最好的物理学的真正形而上学不确定性的自然主义例子。
