SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the existence of non-entangling environmental noise in quantum mechanics (QM) and quantum field theory (QFT). Participants argue that if such noise exists, it fundamentally contradicts the principles of quantum entanglement, suggesting that QM and QFT cannot be considered fundamental theories. The concept of non-entangling noise is described as a stochastic process that interacts with quantum systems without becoming entangled, indicating a potential non-quantum effect in nature. This raises significant implications for the validity of current quantum theories.
