Better than "flashes": Transactions

TL;DR

This paper argues that the Transactional Interpretation offers a harmonious resolution to the conflict between quantum theory and relativity, aligning with Gisin's results without requiring modifications to the theory.

Contribution

It clarifies the relationship between the Transactional Interpretation and GRW models, showing TI's compatibility with relativistic quantum phenomena.

Findings

TI resolves conflicts between quantum theory and relativity harmoniously.

TI aligns with Gisin's results without modifying quantum theory.

Clarifies similarities and differences between TI and GRW approaches.

Abstract

I discuss Gisin's result showing that sets of quantum-correlated spacelike events cannot be described by a covariant probability distribution over hidden variables, and his conclusion that Tumulka's "rGRWf" (relativistic GRW "flash ontology" model) is an appropriate model to resolve the apparent conflict between quantum theory and relativity. The contrasts and similarities between the Transactional Interpretation's (TI) handling of a specific measurement result and that of GRW approaches are clarified. I argue that TI resolves the apparent conflict between quantum theory and relativity described by Gisin in a harmonious manner, without the necessity of modifying the theory.
