Quantum mechanical retrocausation? Call for nonlocal causal models!

A new possible version of multisimultaneous causality is proposed, and real experiments allowing us to decide between this view and quantum mechanical retrocausation are further discussed. The interest of testing quantum mechanics against as many nonlocal causal models as possible is stressed.

Does Quantum Mechanics imply influences acting backward in time in impact series experiments?

A real two-particle experiment is proposed in which one of the particles undergoes two successive impacts on beam-splitters. It is shown that the standard quantum mechanical superposition principle implies the possibility of influences acting backward in time ("retrocausation"), in striking contrast with the principle of causality. It is argued that nonlocality and retrocausation are not necessarily entangled.

Relativistic Nonlocality in experiments with successive impacts

Relativistic Nonlocality is applied to experiments in which one of the photons impacts successively at two beam-splitters. It is discussed whether a time series with 2 non-before impacts can be produced with beam-splitters at rest, and such an experiment may allow us to decide between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Relativistic Nonlocality (RNL).

Relativistic nonlocality (RNL) in experiments with moving polarizers and 2 non-before impacts

Relativistic nonlocality (RNL) is a recently proposed relativistic nonlocal description which unifies relativity of simultaneity and superluminal nonlocality (without superluminal signaling). In this article RNL is applied to experiments with so-called 2 non-before impacts, leading to new rules of calculating the joint probabilities, and predictions conflicting with quantum mechanics. A real experiment using fast moving polarizing beam-splitters is proposed.

Does entanglement depend on the timing of the impacts at the beam-splitters?

A new nonlocality experiment with moving beam-splitters is proposed. The experiment is analysed according to conventional quantum mechanics, and to an alternative nonlocal description in which superposition depends not only on indistinguishability but also on the timing of the impacts at the beam-splitters.
