A primary technical paper by Jonathan Gorard — the quantum-mechanics counterpart to his relativity paper, in the same Complex Systems 29(2) issue. The rigorous counterpart to the (very speculative) QM section of Wolfram’s 2020 announcement.

What it covers (catalogued)

Develops quantum-mechanical behaviour within the model from multiway systems and branchial space — including connections to the path integral and to Bell / CHSH inequalities.

Distillation status: catalogued. A separate arXiv mirror was not confirmed, so cite via the Complex Systems record (an author-hosted PDF also exists at content.wolfram.com). Read this before writing any QM concept notes — prefer it over the blog essays for quantum claims.

Grounded facts we can safely state

Authored by Jonathan Gorard (2020); Complex Systems 29(2), pp. 537–598.
It is the formal / peer-reviewed treatment of quantum mechanics in the Wolfram model.
It develops QM from multiway / branchial structure (path integral, Bell/CHSH).
