O confronto entre Schrödinger e Heisenberg sobre o estatuto da Mecânica Quântica
Keywords:
Mecânica Quântica. Ontologia. Heisenberg. Schrödinger. Visualização.Abstract
O artigo analisa o confronto ontológico entre as representações quânticas de Heisenberg e Schrödinger. Enquanto Heisenberg, alinhado com a interpretação de Copenhague, propõe uma visão antirrealista, acausal e probabilística da realidade microscópica, Schrödinger defende uma interpretação realista, contínua e visualizável da função de onda. A divergência entre os dois, no entanto, vai além do nível metodológico e revela tensões filosóficas sobre o status da realidade física. Heisenberg rejeita a representação pictórica em favor de uma formalização matemática abstrata. Schrödinger, por outro lado, insiste na inteligibilidade espaço-temporal dos fenômenos quânticos. O confronto expressa diferentes visões de mundo e permanece relevante nas discussões contemporâneas sobre o status da Mecânica Quântica.
