The philosophical challenge arising from the interpretations for quantum measurement is the fundament in all the philosophical challenges of quantum mechanics, which is also the core of understanding of quantum theory. In this paper, we discuss the different interpretations for quantum measurements from the ontology of physical measurements and the logical consistence in the interpretations for the performances of physical experiments. Finally, we analyze the realism in the quantum measurement.
