Quantum Theory finally reconciled with Special Relativity
Daniele Tommasini
abstract: In 1935 Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) pointed out that Quantum Mechanics
apparently implied some mysterious, instantaneous action at a distance. This
paradox is supposed to be related to the probabilistic nature of the theory,
but since deterministic alternatives involving "Hidden Variables" hardly agree
with the experiments, the scientific community is now accepting this ``quantum
nonlocality" as if it were a reality. However, I have argued recently that
Quantum Electrodynamics is free from the EPR paradox, due to an indetermination
on the number of the unobserved "soft photons" that can be present in any step
of any experiment. Here, I will provide a more general proof, based on an
approach to the "problem of measurement" that implies the full reconciliation
of Quantum Field Theory with Special Relativity. I will then conclude with some
considerations on the interpretation of the Quantum Theory itself.
