Quantum mechanics is perfectly compatible with special relativity (quantum electrodynamics). It's general relativity, or rather a quantum theory of gravity, that lacks a complete solution.
- amai 4y agoThe Schrödinger equation is not Lorentz invariant, so standard quantum mechanics is not compatible with relativity. Bells equations and all those stuff is all based on non-relativistic QM. It is true that we have quantum electrodynamics as a relativistic version of QM. However in QED the number of particles are not fixed and a wave function can therefore not be defined. What I'm criticizing is that most papers on Bells equations, contextuality, popescu-rohrlich boxes, spooky action on a distance, collapse of the wave function, decoherence simply ignore that QED exists and relativistic effects might play a role in describing the seemingly "magic" effects of QM.
