The universal wavefunction or universal wave function is a term introduced by Hugh Everett in his Princeton PhD thesis〔Bryce Seligman DeWitt, R. Neill Graham, eds, ''The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics'', Princeton Series in Physics, Princeton University Press (1973), ISBN 0-691-08131-X Contains Everett's thesis: ''The Theory of the Universal Wave Function'', pp 3–140.〕 ''The Theory of the Universal Wave Function'', and forms a core concept in the relative state interpretation〔Hugh Everett, Relative State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics, ''Reviews of Modern Physics'' vol 29, (1957) pp 454–462. An abridged summary of ''The Theory of the Universal Wavefunction''〕〔John Archibald Wheeler, Assessment of Everett's "Relative State Formulation of Quantum Theory", ''Reviews of Modern Physics'', vol 29, (1957) pp 463–465〕 or many-worlds interpretation〔Bryce Seligman DeWitt, Quantum Mechanics and Reality, ''Physics Today'',23(9) pp 30–40 (1970) also April 1971 letters followup 〕〔Bryce Seligman DeWitt, The Many-Universes Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, ''Proceedings of the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi" Course IL: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics'', Academic Press (1972) 〕 of quantum mechanics. It has also received more recent investigation from James Hartle and Stephen Hawking〔Stephen W Hawking, James B Hartle "The Wave Function of the Universe," ''Physical Review D'', vol 28, (1983) pp 2960–2975〕 in which they derive a specific solution to the Wheeler-deWitt equation to explain the initial conditions of the Big Bang cosmology. Everett's thesis introduction reads: The universal wave function is the wavefunction or quantum state of the totality of existence, regarded as the "basic physical entity"〔Everett 1957, section 3, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence.〕 or "the fundamental entity, obeying at all times a deterministic wave equation."〔Everett ()1973, "Theory of the Universal Wavefunction", chapter 6 (e)〕 ==Criticism== Ray Streater writes: Hugh Everett's response: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「universal wavefunction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
