Interaction, measurement, and the trick of quantum entanglement
ORAL
Abstract
Interaction is a fundamental property of the physical world, occurring between two or more entities. According to our current understanding, fundamental interactions are extremely complex. Even the simplest interactions involve multiple-order, up to infinite, increasingly complicated physical processes. Fundamental interactions all meet the requirements of the special relativity theory or the locality principle. Any interaction takes time. But, interaction in quantum mechanics is oversimplified, non-relativistic, and takes no time. If we perceive quantum mechanics from the perspective of fundamental interactions, we find that quantum mechanics does not require an interpretation. We should also comprehend quantum measurement similarly. With interaction in mind, we can intuitively understand quantum measurement, and the annoying discontinuities and probabilities are gone. Furthermore, we will find that quantum entanglement is established through interaction, but the process occurs covertly during the experiment's preparation or simultaneously. Ignoring the coherence-establishing process of the quantum entanglement will lead to an incomprehensible "non-local" view. The non-locality demonstrated in all quantum entanglement experiments comes from the synthetic global outcome of orchestrated interactions between the components. They are all little magic tricks that nature plays, creating the illusion of quantum non-locality.
