Retrocausal model of reality for quantum fields

P. D. Drummond, M. D. Reid

This paper tackles the measurement problem of quantum mechanics in a new way. The authors suggest that reality is a space-time field with vacuum fluctuations, which allows the treatment of any quantum field theory as a realistic object. With this approach, using stochastic trajectories with propagation forward and backward in time, the observation of sharp eigenvalues and Bell violations in a measurement is due to unitary quantum amplification to a macroscopic size.

On the motion of macroscopic bodies in quantum theory

Kryukov, Alexey A

Quantum observables can be identified with vector fields on the sphere of normalized states. The resulting {\it vector representation} is used in the paper to undertake a simultaneous treatment of macroscopic and microscopic bodies in quantum mechanics. Components of the velocity and acceleration of state under Schr{\"o}dinger evolution are given a clear physical interpretation. Solutions to Schr{\"o}dinger and Newton equations are shown to be related beyond the Ehrenfest results on the motion of averages. A formula relating the normal probability distribution and the Born rule is found.
