“…In quantum field theory we merely have more complicated ways of describing interactions, and calculating the time-evolution of the system and observables related to it. If anything, it has been argued these problems become more complicated in quantum field theory [34].…”

We summarise different aspects of the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We argue that it is a real problem which requires a solution, and identify the properties a theory needs to solve the problem. We show that no current interpretation of quantum mechanics solves the problem, and that, being interpretations rather than extensions of quantum mechanics, they cannot solve it. Finally, we speculate what a solution of the measurement problem might be good for.
