- Abstract: Starting with unitary quantum dynamics, we investigate how to add quantum
measurements. Quantum measurements have four essential components: the
furcation, the witness production, an alignment projection, and the actual
choice decision. The first two components still lie in the domain of unitary
quantum dynamics. The decoherence concept explains the third contribution. It
can be based on the requirement that witnesses reaching the end of time on the
wave function side and the conjugate one have to be identical. In this way, it
also stays within the quantum dynamics domain. The surjection hypothesis
explains the actual choice decision. It is based on a two boundary
interpretation applied to the complete quantum universe. It offers a simple way
to reduce these seemingly random projections to purely deterministic unitary
quantum dynamics, eliminating the measurement problem.

We investigate the quantum dynamics of two photonic modes coupled to each other through a beam splitting.
We find that when the initial wave function of one mode is different from a wave packet obeying the minimum Heisenberg uncertainty, the causality in the time-evolution of each mode is internally broken.

Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same.
Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles.
We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
