Restoring Consistency to Quantum Mechanics by Interpreting the Observer

Authors: Sonali Tamhankar

We set forward a set of axioms to interpret the observer in quantum mechanics. Our axioms treat observers as quantum states and provide rules for what they can observe. We demonstrate that our framework, which we call the NEW interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, provides a resolution of the Frauchiger-Renner paradox [1], restoring consistency to Quantum Mechanics. The resolution is brought about by a careful definition of 'Consistency', Assumption (C). With this precise definition, our interpretation satisfies all three Assumptions (Q), (C), and (S), without logical contradictions. The scope of this paper only extends to setting forward our axioms and addressing the Frauchiger-Renner paradox. Additional context for the NEW worldview, along with a matching NEW conjecture, is provided elsewhere [2].
