Contribution
It applies the PTI framework to the Hardy experiment, clarifying quantum phenomena and resolving interpretational paradoxes.
Findings
PTI provides a coherent account of Hardy experiment phenomena
Resolves paradoxes related to state vector components and particle presence
Enhances understanding of quantum nonlocality in spacetime regions
Abstract
The Hardy experiment is analyzed from the standpoint of the Transactional Interpretation (TI) in its possibilist variant, PTI. It is argued that PTI provides a natural and illuminating account of the associated phenomena, resolving the apparent paradox which arises from the mistaken notion that components of the state vector labeled by spacetime regions imply the actual presence of a corpuscle in that region.
