A Proposal for Experimentally Testing Different “Interpretations” of Quantum Mechanics

It used to be assumed that the differences between “interpretations” of quantummechanics are philosophical and not physical. The experimental test of the original EPR “thought experiment” by Aspect et al., using the Bell inequalities, eliminatedthe Bohm-Aharanov local hidden variables, demonstrating that the so-called interpretations are distinct theories, amenable to experimental testing, and not merely philosophically different “interpretations”. In this paper I present a sequence of experiments, doable by current technology, to distinguish between various “interpretations” of Quantum Mechanics.
