Quantum Mechanics: Sidney Coleman's Lecture

This lecture delves into Sidney Coleman's classic talk on Quantum Mechanics, where he confronts the audience with the peculiarities of quantum reality, emphasizing the deterministic evolution according to Schrödinger's Equation. Coleman's humorous journey through the challenges of interpreting quantum mechanics is highlighted, including discussions on the GHZM effect and Schrödinger's cat. The lecture also touches on the concept of non-deterministic reduction of the wave function and the absurdity perceived by various physicists. The presentation concludes with a reflection on the need for a quantum mechanical theory of consciousness to address fundamental questions in quantum physics.
