Decoherence and definite outcomes

Abstract

This thesis has three aims: to clarify in detail the relation between the decoherence mechanism and the problem of definite outcomes, to dispel common misconceptions about the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, and to present some recent alternative approaches in the quest for a satisfactory solution of the definite outcomes problem.
