The measurement problem is a fundamental issue in quantum mechanics that arises when trying to reconcile the behavior of quantum systems with classical observations. It questions how and why the act of measurement causes a quantum system to 'collapse' from a superposition of states into a single outcome. This issue is linked to interpretations of quantum mechanics and the nature of reality, involving concepts like decoherence and entanglement.
congrats on reading the definition of measurement problem. now let's actually learn it.
