Robert henderson says it's not necessary to get into quantum field theory when thinking about quan theories foundational questions that non relativistic quanto mechanics is sufficient. If you take the idea that non relevistic quan mechanics has a lot less sort of mathematical baggage that it carries around with it, then you can focus in on the foundational questions better by thinking about that context than you would in quantumfield theory. But those are separate theories that won't be normally think of as like the measurement problem or the ontology problems of quantum theory in general.
Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
