Abstract

The article shows the evolution of the concept of state in quantum mechanics. It is marked that at the present stage of the development of quantum mechanics, its significance in the description of quantum mechanics processes minimizes. This is caused both by a great number of external characteristics of the description of a quantum object and its interaction with the environment, which are satisfactory mathematically, and by the fact that there are put forward hypotheses about its internal state, but the verification of them is impossible at the current stage of the development of science. Thus, the problem of interpreting the concept of state in quantum mechanics is not eliminated, but becomes complicated.
