Try out my quantum mechanics course (and many others on math and science) on https://brilliant.org/sabine. You can get started for free, and the first 200 will get 20% off the annual premium subscription.

What would it mean if effects come before their causes? Today, I have a closer look at retrocausality in general and the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics in particular.

This paper is a good starting point to learn more about this: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0508102
