Two complementary sub-programmes
#Sub-programme 1 — Reclaiming the Quantum Narrative
What does the quantum state describe before an outcome becomes actual?
A reformulation of quantum mechanics in terms of unresolved complex potentialities, with probabilities emerging when alternatives become observable outcomes.
Quantum mechanics is commonly introduced through Hilbert spaces, operators and calculation rules before explaining what these structures represent. This sub-programme starts instead from familiar notions of uncertainty—possible outcomes, dependence, updating and transitions—and asks how they
must be extended to describe unresolved quantum alternatives.
Its central proposal is to distinguish complex potentialities, which compose linearly before resolution, from the probabilities of actualized outcomes generated through the Born rule. The approach preserves standard quantum predictions while offering a more intuitive account of superposition, entanglement, measurement and decoherence.

#Sub-programme 2 — Time in Quantum Mechanics
When do quantum events occur, and how should the duration of quantum processes be described?
Research on event-time distributions, measurement protocols, emergent time and technology-facing questions in quantum computing, control, sensing and communication.
Time has a distinctive status in quantum theory. It usually enters as an external parameter, even though many physical questions concern the probability that an event occurs at a particular time. The programme develops operational descriptions of event timing and investigates how temporal order and
duration may be associated with physical records and actualized outcomes. This is also a technology-facing research agenda. Quantum processors, sensors and communication systems are implemented through timed control pulses, measurement schedules and information-
transfer processes. A distributional account of when a target state is reached can reveal differences between physical implementations that are invisible at the level of the compiled unitary or nominal circuit duration, and can inform quantum control, pulse-level benchmarking, measurement design,
scheduling and restart strategies.
The webpage should mention the emerging work on internal time and on the physical resources required to form records, but should not develop either project technically. Their scientific content belongs in the linked paper summaries.
