SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenges of unifying Quantum Mechanics (QM) with General Relativity (GR) due to the capabilities of the quantum field. Key concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling are mentioned, alongside the notion that unobserved quantum waves exist throughout the quantum field, akin to the internet cloud. The delayed choice quantum eraser is highlighted as evidence of non-locality, suggesting that decoherence events are predetermined by the quantum field's omnipresence. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise terminology and references to facilitate deeper understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics (QM) principles
  • Familiarity with General Relativity (GR) concepts
  • Knowledge of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Awareness of decoherence and its implications in quantum physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Quantum Field Theory on the unification of QM and GR
  • Study the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment and its significance
  • Explore the concept of decoherence in quantum systems
  • Investigate current theories attempting to unify QM and GR, such as string theory
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, quantum theorists, and anyone interested in the foundational challenges of modern physics, particularly those exploring the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

TL;DR
Do all of our problems uniting QM with GR have to do with what the quantum field is capable of?
I think it can do more than the wave only events we know of (superposition, entanglement, and tunneling).

If the quantum field doesn't care about spatial distance, does that mean every unobserved quantum wave is already everywhere throughout the quantum field? Does it explain spooky action at a distance and the delayed choice quantum eraser?
I think we are going to find the Quantum Field is a bit like the internet cloud. All Quantum waves have access to it.

Does a quantum wave, that is destined to decohere, behave differently than one that isn't?

Decay of Coherence is something that can happen to decoherent particles. Coherent matter-waves do not decay.

The reason decoherence can be predestined is because the quantum field is everywhere and already knows of the decoherece events.
Unobserved waves do not travel in spatial dimensions.

The delayed choice quantum eraser demonstrates a particle of a pair landing on its final panel first, knowing if it's entangled brother will decohere in its path.

Why do you think it doesn't?

:welcome:

You are new to posting here. You might not be aware that most personal speculation is not allowed. Further, you should provide a more specific reference (or more standard terminology) to enable someone to answer.

The possible unification of QM/QFT and GR is a very big subject. Many attempts have been made to unify them, certainly more than could be discussed in a single thread. Perhaps you might find a way to rephrase your questions into something that invites a more specific answer.

Cheers!
 
With that we will close this thread. Please be aware that interpretations questions belong in the interpretations sub forum, and that in that sub forum it is more important than most sections to have your posts be properly supported by the professional scientific literature
