Abstract
- The framework of quantum frames can help unravel some of the interpretive difficulties i the foundation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, 1 begin by tracing the origins of this concept in Bohr's discussion of quantum theory and his theory of complementarity. Engaging with various interpreters and followers of Bohr, I argue that the correct account of quantum frames must be extended beyond literal space-time reference frames to frames defined by relations between a quantum system and the exosystem or external physical frame, of which measurement contexts are a particularly important example. This approach provides superior solutions to key EPR-type measurement and locality paradoxes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
