“What is a quantum state? It’s a unit vector of complex numbers (or if we’re talking about mixed states, then a trace-1, Hermitian, positive semidefinite matrix), which encodes everything there is to know about a physical system.”
“The explanatory power of orthodox quantum theory is limited due to one of its (apparently unnecessary) axioms. Unorthodox quantum theory drops this axiom and consequently allows, for example, for a resolution of the grandfather paradox.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.02797v1
Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05739-8
