Abstract

Superdeterminism is presently the only known consistent description of nature that is local, deterministic, and can give rise to the observed correlations of quantum mechanics. I here want to explain what makes this approach promising and offer the reader some advice for how to avoid common pitfalls. In particular, I explain why superdeterminism is not a threat to science, is not necessarily finetuned, what the relevance of future input is, and what the open problems are.

Why This Paper Matters

This paper contributes to the Open Quantum Systems & Decoherence research area in the Quantum Articles archive.
It adds a 2020 reference point for readers tracking recent quantum research.
