It's sure been a wild ride this year! Between some AI missteps and breaking LaTeX for a good portion of the year (at least we got dark...

That depends on what you consider "the issue of collapse" to be. QFT does not have the collapse postulate in the form that...

More precisely, in non-relativistic QM, there is a collapse postulate, but it is not a postulate about anything that "really happens"...

Do remember that collapse is not part of the theory of quantum mechanics as described by the math (which is the only real description of...

Thnx for your comment, DaTario! The "kinematics" of QM per quantum information theory is its Hilbert space structure. For example, the...

These are deep issues not usually tackled at the undergrad level. I am currently reading a book that tackles them...

If no theories in the direction I have mentioned have been explored in response to the OP’s question, please excuse my oversight.

What theory are you talking about?

No. You can do QFT in flat or curved spacetime.

Only in the sense that QFT gives a mechanism for computing probabilities that doesn't have the collapse postulate the way ordinary...

You don't need to "master" relativity. You just need to understand that one of the lessons relativity teaches us is that physics is...

That's correct. What you are calling "ordinary" QM is a non-relativistic approximation. For relativistically correct QM, you need...

You're certainly not the only one. :wink:

That's correct. Not really. See below. Yes, but what that means is not that "you can think of the wave function collapsing either...

You may conclude that that statement, as you make it, is not even well-defined. You didn't specify a time in any frame at which B has...
