Demystifying Quantum Mechanics
Ana Elisa D. Barioni, Felipe B. Mazzi, Elsa Bifano Pimenta, Willian, Vieira dos Santos, and Marco A. P. Lima

TL;DR
This paper explores the mysteries of quantum mechanics, clarifying its conceptual limitations and interpretations within the Copenhagen framework, and discusses implications for understanding reality, measurement, and quantum information processes.
Contribution
It offers a new interpretation approach within the Copenhagen paradigm to explain quantum mysteries without assuming missing elements or hidden variables.
Findings
Quantum mechanics' mysteries are due to interpretational limitations, not missing physics.
Proper interpretation rules can resolve paradoxes related to measurement and reality.
The framework supports understanding quantum phenomena like entanglement and teleportation within existing theory.
Abstract
Why does such a successful theory like Quantum Mechanics have so many mysteries? The history of this theory is replete with dubious interpretations and controversies, and yet a knowledge of its predictions, however, contributed to the amazing technological revolution of the last hundred years. In its very beginning Einstein pointed out that there was something missing, due to contradictions with the relativity theory. So, even though Quantum Mechanics explains all the nanoscale physical phenomena, there were many attempts to find a way to "complete" it, e.g. hidden-variable theories. In this paper, we discuss some of those enigmas, with special attention to the concepts of physical reality imposed by quantum mechanics, the role of the observer, prediction limits, a definition of collapse, and how to deal with correlated states (the basic strategy for quantum computers and quantum…
