Spacetime in Everett's interpretation of quantum mechanics
Everett's interpretation of quantum mechanics was proposed to avoid problems inherent in the prevailing interpretational frame. It assumes that quantum mechanics can be applied to any system and that…
The Quantum Mechanics of Being and Its Manifestation
How can quantum mechanics be (i) the fundamental theoretical framework of contemporary physics and (ii) a probability calculus that presupposes the events to which, and on the basis of which, it…
Quantum Mechanics in a New Light
Although the present paper looks upon the formal apparatus of quantum mechanics as a calculus of correlations, it goes beyond a purely operationalist interpretation. Having established the…
On the relation between quantum theory and probability
The theory of probability and the quantum theory, the one mathematical and the other physical, are related in that each admits a number of very different interpretations. It has been proposed that…
Understanding quantum mechanics: a review and synthesis in precise language
TLDR
This review is broad in scope, and aims to reflect enough of the literature to be representative of the current state of the subject, and to contribute to achieving greater consensus on how to understand quantum mechanics.
What kind of a friend is Wigner's?
Proietti et al. (arXiv:1902.05080) reported on an experiment designed to settle, or at least to throw light upon, the paradox of Wigner's friend. Without questioning the rigor or ingenuity of the…
La réalité face à la théorie quantique
Tous les chercheurs interesses aux fondements de la theorie quantique s’entendent sur le fait que celle-ci a profondement modifie notre conception de la realite. La s’arrete, toutefois, le consensus.…

Hugh Everett III was an American physicist best known for his many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which formed the basis of his PhD thesis at Princeton University in 1957. Although…
Remarks on Space-Time and Locality in Everett’s Interpretation
Interpretations that follow Everett's idea that (at some level of description) the universal wave function contains a multiplicity of coexisting realities, usually claim to give a completely local…
The Everett Interpretation
The Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics - better known as the Many-Worlds Theory - has had a rather uneven reception. Mainstream philosophers have scarcely heard of it, save as science…

Can Everett be Interpreted Without Extravaganza?
Everett’s relative states interpretation of quantum mechanics has met with problems related to probability, the preferred basis, and multiplicity. The third theme, I argue, is the most important one.…
Combining Bohm and Everett: Axiomatics for a Standalone Quantum Mechanics
A non-relativistic quantum mechanical theory is proposed that combines elements of Bohmian mechanics and of Everett’s “many-worlds” interpretation. The resulting theory has the advantage of resolving…

There are currently several versions of Everett's relative state interpretation of quantum mechanics, responding to a number of perceived problems for the original proposal. One of those problems is…
Some Worlds of Quantum Theory
Abstract: This paper assesses the Everettian approach to the measurement problem, especially the version of that approach advocated by Simon Saunders and David Wallace. I emphasise conceptual, indeed…
Worlds in the Everett interpretation
The single-mind and many-minds versions of quantum mechanics
There is a long tradition of trying to find a satisfactory interpretation of Everett's relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics. Albert and Loewer recently described two new ways of reading…
