This book proposes a fundamentally new framework for quantum theory rooted in real physical fields defined in Minkowski space, instead of the conventional Hilbert space formalism. It introduces a physically realistic model of fermions, built from coupled strings that explain spin, interference, entanglement, and the Planck constant, all without imaginary numbers or wavefunctions. The approach resolves longstanding paradoxes like Bell’s inequality violation and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations through a deterministic model with hidden variables. The book guides the reader from quantum basics to experimental implications.

Recent advances in quantum technology – from quantum computers and simulators to communication and metrology – have not only opened up a whole new world of applications but also changed the understanding of quantum theory itself. This text introduces quantum theory entirely from this new perspective. It does away with the traditional approach to quantum theory as a theory of microscopic matter, and focuses instead on quantum theory as a framework for information processing. Accordingly, the emphasis is on concepts like measurement, probability, statistical correlations, and transformations, rather than waves and particles. The text begins with experimental evidence that forces one to abandon the classical description and to re-examine such basic notions as measurement, probability, and state. Thorough investigation of these concepts leads to the alternative framework of quantum theory. The requisite mathematics is developed and linked to its operational meaning. This part of the text culminates in an exploration of some of the most vexing issues of quantum theory, regarding locality, non-contextuality, and realism. The second half of the text explains how the peculiar features of quantum theory are harnessed to tackle information processing tasks that are intractable or even impossible classically. It provides the tools for understanding and designing the pertinent protocols, and discusses a range of examples representative of current quantum technology.
This work develops a deterministic, field-based reformulation of quantum mechanics in which entanglement arises naturally from correlated hidden variables, directly realizing Einstein’s prediction. Fermions are modeled as coupled real fields whose internal oscillatory phases provide a physical ontology for spin, interference, and charge. The model yields the standard −cosθ correlation law in the uniform-phase limit, while predicting a small deterministic correction C( θ )=−cosθ+ε sin 2 θ with ε≈0.06 . This deviation is benchmarked against historic and modern Bell tests, showing it is not excluded but lies within the sensitivity of angle-resolved experiments. Thus, the work provides a realist, experimentally testable account of entanglement, aligning with Einstein’s vision of hidden variables. Experimental deviation between the quantum mechanics model to our real coupled-fields model is expected to be of order ε=0.06 . The model provides unique experimental predictions—a finite offset at symmetry points (e.g. Δ = 45˚) not explained by noise or reduced visibility. This work examines the violation of Bell’s inequality through the lens of the Coupled-Fields model. While standard quantum mechanics attributes these results to nonlocal entanglement, the Coupled-Fields framework reproduces the same correlations through deterministic, local interactions between the internal variables of the coupled strings. Each fermion pair shares an intrinsic phase relationship established at creation, which governs measurement outcomes without requiring instantaneous influence. Statistical violation of Bell’s inequality thus reflects the geometry of internal field orientations rather than true nonlocality. This analysis reconciles experimental data with physical realism, demonstrating that local hidden variables—when properly defined within the coupled-fields structure—can reproduce the full quantum correlation pattern. Our conclusion is that Einstein (EPR) [1] was right. Internal phase is the hidden variable.
Written at a level appropriate for an educated lay audience, this paper attempts to give a primarily conceptual overview of a framework recently introduced in reference [3] by this author, which attempts to clarify what quantum mechanics tells us about reality. Physicists may find this pa-per useful because it focuses on the central ideas of the framework at a conceptual level, thereby lessening their unfamiliarity, an unavoidable fea-ture of truly novel ideas. The author hopes that this article will motivate physicists to seriously evaluate the mathematical details of the framework given in the original reference...I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics.”[1]
Abstract Quantum mechanics predicts faster-than-light information transportation in order to satisfy quantum entanglement experimental results. Such a prediction violates the locality principle and Bell’s inequality. Quantum mechanisms also state that the world is intrinsically probabilistic. Such an idea was not welcome by many scientists including Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen. To resolve such a dilemma, the ”Many-world” theory was presented by Hugh Everett in 1975. Such a theory asserts that the universal wave function is real and that there is no wave function collapse. Also, it states that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in other parallel universes. Besides, in quantum mechanics, the observer effect defines a state transition of quantum objects. Such a phenomenon affirms that quantum objects behave differently depending on being observed or not. In this paper, we present few assumptions based on which we build a classical hidden-variable-based system that can violate Bell’s inequality. Therefore, adopting similar assumptions in explaining quantum entanglement could lead to a better explanation of quantum mechanics without violating the locality principle or adopting such weird assumptions. Hence, one can conclude that extending Quantum Mechanism by a set of similar hidden variables can resolve such a paradox and predict the quantum entanglement experimental results without violating the locality principle.
This novel text directly addresses common claims and misconceptions around quantum mechanics and presents a fresh and modern understanding of this fundamental and essential physical theory. It begins with a non-mathematical introduction to some of the more controversial topics in the foundations of quantum mechanics. For those more familiar with the theoretical framework of quantum mechanics, the text moves on to a general introduction to quantum field theory, followed by a detailed discussion of cutting-edge topics in this area such as decoherence and spontaneous coherence. Several important philosophical problems in quantum mechanics are considered, and their interpretations are compared, notably the Copenhagen and many-worlds interpretations. The inclusion of frequent real-world examples, such as superconductors and superfluids, ensures the book remains grounded in modern research. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in both physics and the philosophy of science interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
This work offers a foundational, ontological re-examination of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox and the violation of Bell inequalities. It argues that the apparent "nonlocality" in quantum mechanics stems not from a physical mechanism of interaction, but from an inadequate ontological premise shared by classical reasoning and many interpretations of quantum theory. Core Thesis: The paradox arises from the implicit assumption that measurement outcomes in entangled systems represent independent, local facts that pre-exist or can be defined separately. The work rejects this premise. Instead, it proposes that entangled states describe indivisible ontological structures, where correlated outcomes are not separate entities to be coordinated, but inseparable aspects of a single whole. Key Conceptual Innovations: The JED Postulate (Ontological Simultaneity): The cornerstone of the framework. It posits a global constraint on the co-realization of facts: for an entangled state, individual outcomes cannot exist as autonomous facts. They can only be realized as elements of an admissible pair (e.g., {Alice+, Bob-} or {Alice-, Bob+}). This is not a temporal or causal constraint, but a structural condition for existence. Formalism of Frames and Admissibility Relations: The ontology is formalized using "frames" (sets of co-existing facts) and an "admissibility relation" R, which encodes the structure of an entangled state (e.g., for a singlet: R = {(+, -), (-, +)}). The JED postulate ensures that a frame containing one element of a related pair must contain its counterpart. The "Broken Mirror" Metaphor: A central heuristic. Entanglement is likened to a mirror broken into two complementary halves. The halves do not "communicate" to match; their perfect fit is a consequence of their common origin in a single act of breaking. Asking "which half appeared first?" or "how does one half know about the other?" is ontologically meaningless—there is no process that produces only one isolated half. Resolution of the EPR Paradox: The paradox dissolves because its first step—treating Alice's local outcome as an independent fact—is invalid within the JED ontology. There is no independent fact for locality to protect, hence no contradiction between correlations and relativistic locality. Interpretation of Bell's Theorem: The work reframes Bell's theorem. Its violation is not proof of nonlocality, but empirical evidence against the ontology of independent local facts. Bell's mathematics is correct, but its physical significance depends on ontological axioms that may not hold. The JED ontology provides a local, realistic (but not fact-local) framework consistent with the correlations. Distinction from Hidden Variables: The approach is explicitly not a hidden-variable theory. It introduces no hidden parameters λ governing individual outcomes. The relation R is a structural definition of the entangled whole, not a hidden cause of correlations. Probabilities are treated as a descriptive layer over the admissible ontological structures. Methodology: The work is developed in the spirit of the "pencil-case" methodology, constructing minimal ontological models to analyze the logical roots of physical puzzles without adding new dynamical mechanisms. Scope and Intent: The present work should be read as a contribution to the philosophy of physics: it does not aim at proposing a new physical theory, but at clarifying the ontological assumptions underlying existing formalisms. It seeks to shift the discussion from "how do the parts communicate?" to "what kind of whole do the parts constitute?" The formalism is shown to be logically consistent with the standard quantum correlation function (e.g., E(θ,φ) = -cos(θ-φ)), without deriving it, thereby separating the ontological question of admissibility from the empirical-statistical question of probability distribution.
