Interpretation of the Klein-Gordon Probability Density

Quantum Physics 2025-02-24 v3

Abstract

The fact that the probability density expression provided by the Klein-Gordon equation can take on negative values is usually seen as an obstacle to formulating a particle interpretation of quantum mechanics. Nevertheless, reconciling this expression with a particle ontology is quite possible once a careful distinction is drawn between the outcomes of measurements and the positions of particles between measurements. Following this path, however, points to the involvement of retrocausality, as proposed by various authors in other contexts.
