Does Quantum Nonlocality Exist? Bell's Theorem and the Many-Worlds Interpretation
@article{Tipler2000DoesQN, title={Does Quantum Nonlocality Exist? Bell's Theorem and the Many-Worlds Interpretation}, author={Frank Tipler}, journal={arXiv: Quantum Physics}, year={2000} }
Quantum nonlocality may be an artifact of the assumption that observers obey the laws of classical mechanics, while observed systems obey quantum mechanics. I show that, at least in the case of Bell’s Theorem, locality is restored if observed and observer are both assumed to obey quantum mechanics, as in the Many-Worlds Interpretation. Using the MWI, I shall show that the apparently \non-local" expectation value for the product of the spins of two widely separated particles | the \quantum" part…

The conceptual problem of nonlocality is replaced with a conceptual problems of proliferating labels, as correlated systems and observers undergo measurement-type interactions with newly-encountered objects and instruments; it is suggested that this problem may be resolved by considering quantum field theory rather than the quantum mechanics of particles.
