Abstract

Quantum nonlocality is discussed as an aspect of the quantum formalism that is seriously in need of interpretation. The Transactional Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which describes quantum processes as transactional "handshakes" between retarded $ψ$ waves and advanced $ψ*$ waves, is discussed. Examples of the use of the Transactional Interpretation in resolving quantum paradoxes and in understanding the counter-intuitive aspects of the formalism, particularly quantum nonlocality, are provided.

    • John Cramer has been pointing this out for years (since the 1980s I think): "The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Nonlocality" https://arxiv.org/abs/1503.00039 Also, Bell's inequality shows the state vector is nonlocal, and and that implies causality…
