Decoherence describes the spectrum of behavior between quantum and classical. As you mention, the probability density converges to multiple outcomes, but then I believe that you're in more of an Everett Many Worlds between the outcomes, rather than a "choice." In practice, it seems like all of the Many Worlds scenarios statistically converge into one world sooner or later anyways (would love this to be formally shown, but have never seen it, so it's just conjecture from me). For example, if you flip a quantum coin, splitting the universe in two in a Many Worlds Interpretation, who cares? Does the Sun notice? Does someone in a town a mile away? You've created a small bubble of "two universes," in a Many Worlds sense, but that bubble will pop. Quantum mechanics is ambivalent about the direction of time, so it sure seems like worlds are joining as fast as they're splitting, keeping us statistically around one effective universe. |
