Abstract

Modal interpretations seek to solve the measurement problem within no collapse quantum mechanics and to account for the nonlocal ► correlations in quantum mechanics in EPR- and Bell-type scenarios in a way that might be compatible with special relativity. Various modal interpretations have been proposed, from the mid 1970s onwards, by Van Fraassen [1,2], Kochen [3], Healey [4], Dieks [5], Bub [6], and others. These versions are quite different from each other. We present below some of their main, and in some cases shared, features.
