The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Nonlocality

Quantum Physics 2015-03-03 v1

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\psi waves and advanced ψ\psi* 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.
