The relational interpretation (or RQM, for Relational Quantum Mechanics) solves the measurement problem by considering an ontology of sparse relative events, or "facts". Facts are realized in interactions between any two physical systems and are relative to these systems. RQM's technical core is the realisation that quantum transition amplitudes determine physical probabilities only when their arguments are facts relative to the same system. The relativity of facts can be neglected in the approximation where decoherence hides interference, thus making facts approximately stable.

  1. Entropic Dynamics approach to Relational Quantum Mechanics

    quant-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new mismatch measure in Entropic Dynamics yields relational quantum models whose constraints are expectation values, and a parametrized version evades the problem of time.
