This paper begins to address the issue by constructing an explicit local hidden variable theory for quantum subsystems. The interpretation is based on a modified sum-over-paths approach, where the paths of the subsystem obtain information about the external system during interactions. The interpretation utilizes the conception that there is a dissociation between the tensor product structure of wavefunctions and information flow into quantum subsystems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-22T16:33:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum subsystems", "local sum-over-paths", "explicit local hidden variable theory", "tensor product structure", "interpretation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
