The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (TIQM) is a theory in quantum mechanics that attempts to explain the wave-particle duality of matter. It is based on the idea that quantum events are transactions between particles, rather than objective properties of the particles themselves.
