The Hardy Experiment in the Transactional Interpretation

Abstract

The Hardy experiment is analyzed from the standpoint of the Transactional Interpretation (TI) in its possibilist variant, PTI. It is argued that PTI provides a natural and illuminating account of the associated phenomena, resolving the apparent paradox which arises from the mistaken notion that components of the state vector labeled by spacetime regions imply the actual presence of a corpuscle in that region.
