This book explains non-locality and its relationship to causality and probability in quantum theory. It displays foundational characteristics of quantum physics to understand conceptual origins of the unusual nature of quantum phenomena.
This book analyses the subtleties of non-locality and the indefiniteness of properties on quantum systems in their ultimate probabilistic and spacetime context. It pays careful attention to the subtleties of non-locality and its relationship to causality and probability in quantum theory. In this way it focuses uniquely on the distinguishing foundational characteristics of quantum physics allowing readers to understand precisely the conceptual origins of the unusual nature of quantum phenomena. In particular, the relationship of quantum theory to causality and probability is made clear. By focusing on the corresponding distinguishing foundational characteristics of quantum physics, the conceptual origins of the unusual nature of quantum phenomena are exposed. In this way it focuses uniquely on the distinguishing foundational characteristics of quantum physics allowing readers to understand precisely the conceptual origins of the unusual nature of quantum phenomena.
