Quantum Structures of a Model-Universe: Questioning the Everett Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Physics 2012-02-15 v7 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

Our objective is to demonstrate an inconsistency with both the original and modern Everettian Many Worlds Interpretations. We do this by examining two important corollaries of the universally valid quantum mechanics in the context of the Quantum Brownian Motion (QBM) model: "Entanglement Relativity" and the "parallel occurrence of decoherence." We conclude that the highlighted inconsistency demands that either there is a privileged spatial structure of the QBM model universe or that the Everettian Worlds are not physically real.
