Understanding the Measurement and Interaction of Electrons: A Beginner's Guide

So it doesn't explain how a classical world emerges, doesn't explain single outcomes but instead provides a mathematical approximation method to derive semi-classical transport equations from quantum many-body theory. I wil look into this in more detail.

What do you mean by "official interpretation"? It's not an interpretation at all but a mathematical approximation method to derive semi-classical transport equations from quantum many-body theory.

So no macroscopic superpositions are allowed, the classical world is as we see it in a definite state all the time?

Yes, especially if you "see" it (i. e. it interacts with light).

Glad to hear that, that finally washes away some of my anxiety regarding this. I know QM is weird but to have a classical, definite state and properties of macroscopic objects at any instant which we can combine with special and general relativity is a sign of relief.
