• Abstract: In the 1980's and 90's, A. O Barut and colleagues developed a nonperturbative approach to electrodynamics eschewing so-called ``second-quantization". Based on incorporation of self-energy terms, the resulting nonlinear and nonlocal theory explained many well-known phenomena of atomic and radiation physics. In 2017, this author introduced a nonlinear, nonlocal theory with the intent of resolving the Measurement Problem. Barut also suggested that his theory resolved such paradoxes. Here I compare the two theories with special attention to That Dot on the Screen.

  We show that this criterion inadvertently tests a different property -- locality of the Hamiltonian -- and is insensitive to whether the theory is nonlinear.<n>We recall the correct criterion, identified by Gisin and Polchinski thirty-five years ago, and reformulate their result in field-theoretic language.

  We show that pulses composed of a difference between a retarded wave and an advanced wave are capable of following quantum trajectories predicted by de Broglie-Bohm theory (also known as Bohmian mechanics) Our theory reproduces the main results of orthodox quantum mechanics and, unlike Bohmian theory, is local in the Bell sense.

While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

We are able to justify wave-particle duality and to explain the violations of Bell's inequalities. We reinterpret the nonlocal action at a distance presents in the pilot-wave theory.

  Causal non-linear theories have the unavoidable feature that their quantum effects are dramatically sensitive to the full physical spread of the quantum state of the system. We set a stringent limit of $5.4times 10-12$ on the magnitude of the unitless scaling factor $tildeepsilon_gamma$ for the predicted causal, non-linear perturbation.

We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
