Locality and the Metaphysics of Many Worlds Quantum Mechanics — •Alyssa Ney — UC Davis, Davis, California, USA

Those who defend the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics often argue it is to be preferred over other solutions to the measurement problem because it provides a local interpretation. However, some have argued that the locality of MWI depends on the way MWI is itself interpreted metaphysically. This paper defends the locality of several metaphysical interpretations of MWI against recent criticisms.
