DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Pierre Hohenberg\nAbstract: Quantum mechanics is uniqu
 e among physical theories in that 90 years after its introduction and gene
 ral acceptance as being correct and complete\, its ‘interpretation’ rema
 ins a subject of controversy. Unlike classical mechanics\, what quantum me
 chanics still lacks is a clear microscopic formulation\, whereby the theor
 y is defined for a closed system S of any size in terms of concepts relati
 ng only to S itself. Such a formulation\, called Compatible Quantum Theory
 \, is presented and shown to account for and clarify the standard quantum 
 phenomena and paradoxes. The question of physical implementation\, on the 
 other hand\, requires a macroscopic theory\, to account for state preparat
 ion and the measurement of system properties. It is primarily in different
  versions of such macroscopic implementation mechanisms that most interpre
 tations of quantum mechanics differ.
