Abstract
We present an alternative view of quantum evolution in which each moment of time is viewed as a new “universe” and time evolution is given by correlations between them. [Editors note: for a video of the talks given by Prof. Aharonov at the Aharonov-80 conference in 2012 at Chapman University, see quantum.chapman.edu/talk-3 and quantum.chapman.edu/talk-30 and by Prof. Popescu, see quantum.chapman.edu/talk-31.]
