Quantum mysteries explained in digestible form

TL;DR

This paper offers an accessible explanation of quantum phenomena by comparing them to vector features in real space, clarifying complex quantum theorems and their differences from classical physics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective by interpreting key quantum theorems through the lens of real space vectors, providing a clearer understanding of quantum-classical differences.

Findings

Quantum phenomena can be understood via vector features in real space.

Violation of Bell's inequalities and other theorems are interpretable through vectors.

Vectors in real space are more complex than they initially appear.

Abstract

Years ago, Itamar Pitowski asked two relevant questions: Why microphysical (quantum) phenomena and classical phenomena differ in the way they do? and, what kind of explanation could qualify as a reasonable one? I argue that both questions can be answered by the comparison of quantum phenomena with some features of vectors in real space. In particular, I show how violation of Bell's inequalities, Teleportation, Kochen-Specker and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger theorems can be understood in terms of vectors. This does not mean that the difference between quantum and classical phenomena is illusory. This means that vectors are stranger objects that they may seem to be at first sight.
