Synopsis
Local Quantum Mechanics explores the idea that, if one adopts the many worlds interpretation, then one can avoid what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance,” the non-locality that is supposed to be a consequence of quantum entanglement according to other approaches. The essays in this volume aim first to articulate a clear and defensible formulation of the argument from locality for preferring the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics over its rivals, and then evaluate it.
In this volume, editor Alyssa Ney brings together contributors from both philosophy and physics to question in what sense those in quantum foundations should care about locality. In particular, Local Quantum Mechanics explores whether and how an interpretation of quantum mechanics should avoid action at a distance to maintain consistency with special relativity. Finally, these essays assess whether the many worlds interpretation needs a particular metaphysical or mathematical interpretation to achieve the aim of providing a local interpretation of quantum mechanics.
