• Title: Give quantum mechanics a chance: use relativistic quantum mechanics to analyze measurement!
• Authors: Karl-Erik Eriksson
• Abstract summary: We show that with the more modern quantum theory, quantum measurement could have been analyzed along more conventional lines in a one-world cosmology. Bell criticized the Everett-DeWitt theory quite sharply in 1987 but this seems not to have affected the acceptance of the old quantum mechanics as the framework for analysis of measurement.

• Abstract: At the time of publication of H. Everett's Relative-State Formulation (1957) and DeWitt's Many-Worlds Interpretation (1970), quantum mechanics was available in a more modern and adequate version than the one used by these authors. We show that with the more modern quantum theory, quantum measurement could have been analyzed along more conventional lines in a one-world cosmology. Bell criticized the Everett-DeWitt theory quite sharply in 1987 but this seems not to have affected the acceptance of the old quantum mechanics as the framework for analysis of measurement.

We attempt to identify the optimal reference device in the first real dimension without a SIC.

  A quantum game has been developed to distinguish standard quantum theory from its real-number analog. We experimentally implement the quantum game based on entanglement swapping with a state-of-the-art fidelity of 0.952(1). Our results disprove the real-number formulation and establish the indispensable role of complex numbers in the standard quantum theory.

A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
