Backward causation intepretation

[michael879]

can someone explain this interpretation to me? I read the article
**************** (my post got deleted for posting a non peer-reviewed article?)
but they only seem to discuss this interpretation with respect to entanglement. Other than that one case, it appears to be identical to the Copenhagen interpretation (i.e. single particles are still described by probability waves and the measurement made on one of the entangled particles is still completely random).

Is there any more detailed source on this interpretation?

The interpretation you are referring to is called the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI). It was first proposed by physicist Hugh Everett III in 1957 and has since been the subject of much debate. The core idea behind the MWI is that when a quantum measurement is made, the universe splits into multiple universes, each containing one of the possible outcomes of the measurement. In other words, the wavefunction does not collapse, but instead each potential outcome is realized in a separate universe. This means that all superposition states exist simultaneously, which is different from the Copenhagen interpretation which states that the wavefunction collapses when a measurement is made. For more information on the Many Worlds Interpretation, there are numerous online sources discussing the details of the interpretation. You can also read Everett's original paper, titled "Relative State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics," for a more detailed understanding.
