文档介绍：THE TRANSACTIONAL INTERPRETATION
OF QUANTUM MECHANICS
prehensive exposition of the transactional interpretation of quantum
mechanics (TI), this book sheds new light on longstanding problems in quantum
theory and provides insight into patibility of TI with relativity. It breaks new
ground in interpreting quantum theory, presenting pelling new picture of
quantum reality.
The book shows how TI can be used to solve the measurement problem of
quantum mechanics, and to explain other puzzles, such as the origin of the “Born
Rule” for the probabilities of measurement results. It addresses and resolves various
objections and challenges to TI, such as Maudlin’s inconsistency challenge. It
explicitly extends TI into the relativistic domain, providing new insight into the
patibility of TI with relativity and the physical meaning of “virtual
particles.” This book is ideal for researchers and graduate students interested in
the philosophy of physics and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
