Time in Quantum Theory
... IV. According to Mach's ideas, no concept of absolute time should be required or meaningful. Any time concept could then be replaced by simultaneity relations between trajectories of different variables (including appropriate clocks) – see [4] and Chap. 1 of [9]. Classically, timeless trajectories q ...

Given the above, it is reasonable to ask why Bohr decided to frame QM in a meta-theoretical structure – the well-known “Copenhagen interpretation”, designed to suppress a priori any question about the effective location and structure of quantum leaps. Indeed, for a long time, these issues were well ...
