  This paper aims to show how adoption of a pragmatist interpretation permits a
satisfactory resolution of the quantum measurement problem. The classic
measurement problem dissolves once one recognizes that it is not the function
of the quantum state to describe or represent the behavior of a quantum system.
The residual problem of when, and to what, to apply the Born Rule may then be
resolved by judicious appeal to decoherence. This can give sense to talk of
measurements of photons and other particles even though quantum field theory
does not describe particles.
