The Quantum Measurement Problem

The Quantum Measurement Problem concerns how and why quantum systems seem to change from multiple possibilities to a definite state when observed. Quantum particles exist in a mix of all possible states simultaneously—a concept called superposition. When we measure or observe them, this superposition "collapses" into a specific outcome. The problem is understanding *how* and *why* this collapse happens, since the fundamental physics equations don’t explicitly explain the transition from multiple possibilities to a single result. It’s a foundational question about how observation influences reality at the quantum level.
