“It seems to me that we must make a distinction between what is "objective" and what is "measurable" in discussing the question of physical reality, according to quantum mechanics. The state-vector of a system is, indeed, not measurable , in the sense that one cannot ascertain, by experiments performed on the system, precisely (up to proportionality) what the state is; but the state-vector does seem to be (again up to proportionality) a completely objective property of the system, being completely characterized by the results it must give to experiments that one might perform.” GivingDoeStatesRealitySeemsMightResultsPropertyExperimentsObjectivesDistinctionQuantumMechanicDiscussingQuantum MechanicsVectorsProportionality Author:Roger Penrose
