Quantum interference and quantum entanglement: incompatibility with determinism

Francisco Duarte

Published Nov 4, 2025• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Quantum interference, and hence quantum entanglement, are firmly based on the indeterminacy of quantum mechanics. Therefore, these phenomena are intrinsically incompatible with classical determinism. The implications for determinism and “superdeterminism” are discussed.

Quantum Entanglement

F. J. Duarte

Quantum interference and quantum entanglement are intrinsically ‘entangled’ at the most fundamental strata of quantum mechanics. In fact, John Clive Ward defined the whole of quantum mechanics in the following terms: ‘ the probability amplitude of quantum entanglement … was my first lesson in quantum mechanics, and in a very real sense my last, since all the rest is mere technique, which can be learnt from books. ’ Albeit Ward's opinion is somewhat colored by his ineffable genius, there is no doubt that quantum entanglement is at the foundations of quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement encapsulates indeterminacy, superposition, and nonlocality with sublime cohesiveness. In this chapter we describe the fine details of the physics of quantum entanglement, free of paradoxes, its interferometric origin, and its generalized character.

Quantum entanglement and ‘the measurement problem’

F.J. Duarte

The physics of quantum entanglement measurements and N-slit quantum interference measurements is described entirely based on quantum indeterminism without the need to invoke a ‘collapse of the wave function’ thus neutralizing concerns about ‘the measurement problem.’ It is emphasized that the physics of quantum entanglement is decoupled from Bell’s theorem. This stochastic, and pragmatic, approach also makes redundant post-Bell-superdeterminism arguments.
