# A new perspective on quantum mechanics?

## TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel interpretation of quantum mechanics by reconsidering the nature of particles, introducing an induced collapse model that offers new insights into measurement and nuclear decay.

## Contribution

It introduces a parameter-free induced collapse model based on non-locality, providing a new perspective on the measurement problem in quantum mechanics.

## Key findings

- Supports the idea of particles as localizable entities
- Offers an alternative to spontaneous collapse models
- Provides insights into nuclear decay processes

## Abstract

Bell suggested that a new perspective on quantum mechanics was needed. We propose a solution of the measurement problem based on a reconsideration of the nature of particles. The solution is presented with an idealized model involving non-locality or non-separability, identified in 1927 by Einstein and implicit in the standard interpretation of single slit (or hole) diffraction. Considering particles as being localizable entities leads to an `induced collapse model', a parameter-free alternative to spontaneous collapse models, that affords a new perspective on, \emph{inter alia}, nuclear decay.
