Abstract

Bell’s theorem Biophysics/Biomedical Physics Condensed Matter Hidden variables Many-histories Measurement problem Mechanics Physics Physics, general Quantum Physics Relativity and Cosmology
A local hidden variable theory of quantum mechanics is formulated by adapting Gell-Mann and Hartle’s many-histories formulation. The resulting theory solves the measurement problem by exploiting the independence loophole in Bell’s theorem; it violates the independence of hidden variable values and measuring device settings. Although the theory is problematic in some respects, it provides a concrete example via which the tenability of this approach can be better evaluated.
