proposal that later measurement choices can influence earlier states, offered as a way to keep time symmetry and locality in quantum mechanics.

In philosophy of physics, retrocausality refers to proposal that later measurement choices can influence earlier states, offered as a way to keep time symmetry and locality in quantum mechanics. This meaning comes from Price (2012) in Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics.[1]
