Under both the Copenhagen Interpretation and decoherence there is "collapse of the wave function." Under the first it happens when it is "observed" by a human or something else. Under the second it happens when it is "observed" by the universe via interaction with a photon. Decoherence still seems to require the same "spooky action at a distance" that Copenhagen does; only the distances involved are less because decoherence usually happens more quickly. Is this right?
Re: How is quantum decoherence different from the Copenhagen Interpretation?
