Abstract


Classical object has wave nature and wave-particle duality compounds confusion. On the contrary, quantum object is a coherent complex wave function which is probabilistic in nature. Classical and quantum interference differ by the presence of intermediate quantum interference terms which give rise to measurement problem. GRW theory, Pilot-wave formulation of quantum mechanics, Von Neumann, Zurek, Wheeler, Born’s principle, and also many physicists have worked on measurement problem. According to decoherence theory, quantum alternatives vanish due to the effect of entanglement with the environment. In this paper, I assume the effect of observer’s mind with respect to measuring device in order to explain classical behaviour from quantum-ness.
