    "abstract": "We suggest an interpretation of quantum mechanics, inspired by the ideas of\nAharonov et al. of a time-symmetric description of quantum theory. We show that\na special final boundary condition for the Universe, may be consistently\ndefined as to determine single classical-like measurement outcomes, thus\nsolving the \"measurement problem\". No other deviation is made from standard\nquantum mechanics, and the resulting theory is deterministic (in a two-time\nsense) and local. Quantum mechanical probabilities are recovered in general,\nbut are eliminated from the description of any single measurement. We call this\nthe Two-time interpretation of quantum mechanics. We analyze ideal\nmeasurements, showing how the quantum superposition is, in effect, dynamically\nreduced to a single classical state via a \"two-time decoherence\" process. We\ndiscuss some philosophical aspects of the suggested interpretation. We also\ndiscuss weak measurements using the two-time formalism, and remark that in\nthese measurement situations, special final boundary conditions for the\nUniverse, might explain some unaccounted for phenomena.",
