All information in quantum systems is, notwithstanding Bell's theorem, localised. Measuring or otherwise interacting with a quantum system S has no effect on distant systems from which S is dynamically isolated, even if they are entangled…

We consider the process of diffusion or "pre-scrambling" of information in a quantum system. We define a measure for this spreading or "pre-scrambling" of the wavefunction in terms of a minimum probability threshold for the states in the…
