Quantum Mechanics and Retrocausality
The classical electrodynamics of point charges can be made nite by the introduction of e ects that temporally precede their causes The idea of retrocausal ity is also inherent in the Feynman propagators of quantum electrodynamics The notion allows a new understanding of the violation of the Bell inequalities and of the world view revealed by quantum mechanics
متن کاملToy Models for Retrocausality
A number of writers have been attracted to the idea that some of the peculiarities ofquantum theory might be manifestations of ‘backward’ or ‘retro’ causality, underlying thequantum description. This idea has been explored in the literature in two main ways:firstly in a variety of explicit models of quantum systems, and secondly at a concep-tual level. This note introduces a...

متن کاملAdjacency-Faithfulness and Conservative Causal Inference
Most causal discovery algorithms in the literature exploit an assumption usually referred to as the Causal Faithfulness or Stability Condition. In this paper, we highlight two components of the condition used in constraint-based algorithms, which we call “Adjacency-Faithfulness” and “OrientationFaithfulness.” We point out that assuming Adjacency-Faithfulness is true, it is possible to test the ...
متن کاملRetrocausality in Quantum Phenomena and Chemical Evolution
The interplay between retrocausality and the time-reversal symmetry of the dynamical law of quantum mechanics underscores the significance of the measurement dynamics with the use of indivisible and discrete quantum particles to be mediated. One example of empirical evidence demonstrating the significance of retrocausality going along with time-reversal symmetry is seen in the operation of a re...
