A new application of the modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics: The problem of optical isomerism

- Isomerism is at the core of the problem of the relation physics-chemistry.
- Optical isomers with different handedness are chemically different.
- The Hamiltonians of optical isomers with different handedness are identical.
- Decoherence does not solve the problem of optical isomerism (OI).
- The modal-Hamiltonian interpretation explains OI in terms of symmetry breaking.
