SUMMARY:Extracting the Universe from the Wave Function - Sean Carroll (Cal

DESCRIPTION:Quantum mechanics is a theory of wave functions in Hilbert spa
 ce. Many features that we generally take for granted when we use quantum m
 echanics -- classical spacetime\, locality\, the system/environment split\
 , collapse/branching\, preferred observables\, the Born rule for probabili
 ties -- should in principle be derivable from the basic ingredients of the
  quantum state and the Hamiltonian. I will discuss recent progress on thes
 e problems\, including consequences for emergent spacetime and quantum gra
 vity.
