Work
Wechsler published the paper "The Submaterial Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics" in the journal Physics Essays (Volume 14, No. 4, December 2001). In it he argues for an interpretation of quantum mechanics that, in his account, cannot be extended to macroscopic bodies, and he offers an associated explanation of atomic energy levels. The proposal lies outside the mainstream interpretations of quantum mechanics.
