Abstract: The relational interpretation (or RQM, for Relational Quantum Mechanics) solves the measurement problem by considering an ontology of sparse relative events, or "facts". Facts are realized in interactions between any two physical systems and are relative to these systems. RQM's technical core is the realisation that quantum transition amplitudes determine physical probabilities only when their arguments are facts relative to the same system. The relativity of facts can be neglected in the approximation where decoherence hides interference, thus making facts approximately stable.

Tracing quantum correlations back to collective interferences [0.04096453902709291]
We investigate nonclassical correlations between two quantum systems in terms of quantum interferences between collective states of the two systems. We show that the relation between probability currents and correlations can be represented by continuous conditional (quasi)probability currents through the interferometer. Our results help to explain the meaning of nonlocal correlations in quantum mechanics, and support Feynman's claim that interference is the origin of all quantum phenomena.

Relativity of spacetime ontology: When correlations in space become correlata in time [0.0]
We argue that correlat and correlationsa are not fundamentally distinct. Since the same quantum states may be either entangled or separable, a spatial correlation in one context can become a temporal correlatum in another.

Doubly Modulated Optical Lattice Clock Interference and Topology [17.566717348287685]
We simultaneously modulate the frequency of the lattice laser and the Rabi frequency in an optical lattice clock (OLC) system. Thanks to ultra-high precision and ultra-stability of OLC, the relative phase could be fine-tuned. By experimentally detecting the eigen-energies, we demonstrate the relation between effective Floquet Hamiltonian and 1-D topological insulator with high winding number.
