Meanings

name
  1. A collection of views about the meaning of quantum mechanics principally attributed to Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, including the idea that quantum mechanics is intrinsically indeterministic, with probabilities calculated using the Born rule, and the principle of complementarity, which states that objects have certain pairs of complementary properties which cannot all be observed or measured simultaneously.
