Title: Ken Wharton
A Constructive Principle for Interpreting Quantum Phenomena
Ken Wharton, San Jose State University
The ongoing efforts to interpret quantum mechanics typically ignore the
Feynman path-integral approach, despite the fact that this mathematics most
naturally extends to relativistic quantum field theory. While literally
interpreting the path-integral mathematics seems untenable, it is notable
that this mathematics implies strong symmetries between experiments that
are typically assumed to be unrelated. If one adopts the principle that
any underlying ontology must respect these same symmetries (the "action
duality"), it turns out that quantum interpretations are strongly
constrained. Furthermore, one can use this principle to construct new
interpretations by considering pairs of experiments related by this
symmetry, particularly cases where interpreting one experiment appears
straightforward and the other problematic. The results generally support
time-symmetric and retrocausal interpretations.
