Key Points

  • The article investigates relational quantum mechanics as proposed by Adlam and Rovelli, emphasizing its inherent and dynamical nature.
  • Analysis of Adlam and Rovelli's 2023 proposition
  • Comparison with Orthodox RQM
  • Addressing potential objections to the relational approach
  • Demonstrates the advantages of the relational approach in quantum mechanics
  • Resolves common objections to relational interpretations
  • Clarifies the inherent and dynamical characteristics of quantum relations

Abstract

Abstract In this article I elaborate on the approach to relational quantum mechanics suggested by Adlam and Rovelli (2023). I suggest that this approach fills an important gap in the spectrum of relational approaches, because it posits that the relational aspects of quantum mechanics are both inherent and dynamical. I compare this approach to Orthodox RQM, arguing that it has a number of advantages, and I show how some possible objections can be resolved.
