The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics (TI) is summarized and various points concerning the TI and its relation to the Copenhagen interpretation (CI) are considered. Questions concerning mapping the TI onto the CI, of advanced waves as solutions to proper wave equations, of collapse and the QM formalism, and of the relation of quantum mechanical interpretations to experimental tests and results are discussed.

The transactional interpretation and its evolution into the 21st century: An overview

Ruth E. Kastner

Abstract This essay provides a historical, philosophical, and critical overview of the development of the transactional interpretation (TI) of quantum mechanics. It is separated into two parts. Part I presents the history and development of TI from 1986 up to 2016 (the time of writing). Part II lays out current areas of divergence among researchers in TI.
