Unscrambling the Quantum Omelette

TL;DR

This paper explores a novel interpretation of quantum mechanics suggesting that only a single pure state exists and quantum evolution permutes this state, potentially resolving longstanding issues in the theory.

Contribution

It proposes a new conceptual framework based on quantum value-indefiniteness theorems, challenging traditional multiple-state models.

Findings

Supports the conjecture of a single pure state in quantum mechanics

Suggests quantum evolution as a permutation of this state

Addresses issues in Born's quantum mechanics

Abstract

Based on recent theorems about quantum value-indefiniteness it is conjectured that many issues of "Born's quantum mechanics" can be overcome by supposing that only a single pure state exists; and that the quantum evolution permutes this state.
