On measurement, superdeterminism, free will, and contextuality
Mordecai Waegell
Superdeterminism has received recent attention as a possible path toward a locally causal explanation of the entanglement correlations that appear in experimental tests of Bell's t…
Nonlocal action in Everettian Quantum Mechanics
Mordecai Waegell, Kelvin J. McQueen
According to a common view, Everettian quantum mechanics (EQM) is a local theory because it avoids nonlocal action at a distance, and this is an important point in EQM's favor. Unl…
Is Bohmian mechanics missing some motion? Why a recent experiment is inconclusive
Mordecai Waegell
A recent experiment raises a supposed challenge to Bohmian mechanics, claiming to observe stationary states, which should have zero Bohm velocity, while indirectly measuring a nonz…
Agency cannot be a purely quantum phenomenon
Emily C. Adlam, Kelvin J. McQueen, Mordecai Waegell
What are the physical requirements for agency? We investigate whether a purely quantum system (one evolving unitarily in a coherent regime without decoherence or collapse) can sati…
From statistical dependence to the space of possible superdeterministic theories
Mordecai Waegell, Kelvin J. McQueen
Bell's theorem demonstrates that any physical theory that is consistent with the predictions of quantum mechanics, and which satisfies some apparently innocuous assumptions, must v…
Madelung Mechanics and Superoscillations
Mordecai Waegell
In single-particle Madelung mechanics, the single-particle quantum state is interpreted as comprising an entire conserved flui…
