- Abstract: Starting with a consideration of the implication of Bell inequalities in
quantum mechanics, a new quantum postulate is suggested in order to restore
classical locality and causality to quantum physics: only the relative
coordinates between detected quantum events are valid observables. This
postulate supports the EPR view that quantum mechanics is incomplete, while
also staying compatible to the Bohr view that nothing exists beyond the
quantum. The new postulate follows from a more general principle of quantum
relativity, which states that only correlations between experimental detections
of quantum events have a real classical existence. Quantum relativity provides
a framework to differentiate the quantum and classical world.

Quantum measurement is a fundamental concept in the field of quantum mechanics.
Despite its significance, four fundamental issues continue to pose significant challenges to the broader application of quantum measurement.
We employ a new space-time approach to relativistic quantum mechanics to address these issues systematically.

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.

Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality.
This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment.
It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
