This is for those who believe QM includes a phase of unitary evolution. In ordinary QM the state is given by a complex vector (actually a ray) in Hilbert space and it evolves by unitary operators transforming it. Does this complex thing and its behavior exist in out spacetime? If not, then where? Or how?
Below I give some choices and the opportunity to specify other answers. Please participate, as this is intended more to spark discussion that to pin down final answers.
{Added in edit) I really don't want to get into a discussion here on whether spacetime itself is "physical". If you have some other view of spacetime, adjust the meaning of the choices to conform to that in your mind and vote accordingly. Then if you will, explain how your view interacts with your choice.
