Features: For a complex and long-standing puzzling philosophical problem in quantum mechanics, Dr. Li Hongfang provides a profound analysis of the origin and essence of the "Schr?dinger's Cat Paradox," pointing out that it is, in fact, a philosophical "paradox" resulting from a long-standing lack of understanding of entangled states in science, particularly the entanglement between the microscopic and macroscopic. Based on recent experimental and theoretical advancements in quantum measurement research on "Schr?dinger's Cat," she offers a detailed and clear scientific explanation and philosophical analysis of the decoherence process of "Schr?dinger's Cat" entanglement in quantum measurement. This further clarifies the philosophical debate over whether the wave function collapse in quantum measurement must involve subjective intervention and whether quantum mechanics is an objective theory that describes physical reality. This undoubtedly holds significant theoretical and practical implications for the development of materialist philosophy and its methodology.
