DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CMU-TP/26/">
 Extracting the Universe from the Wave Function</a>\nby Sean Carroll (Calte
 ch) as part of Carnegie Mellon theoretical physics\n\n\nAbstract\nQuantum 
 mechanics is a theory of wave functions in Hilbert space. Many features th
 at we generally take for granted when we use quantum mechanics -- classica
 l spacetime\, locality\, the system/environment split\, collapse/branching
 \, preferred observables\, the Born rule for probabilities -- should in pr
 inciple be derivable from the basic ingredients of the quantum state and t
 he Hamiltonian. I will discuss recent progress on these problems\, includi
 ng consequences for cosmology and quantum gravity.\n
