Quantum mechanics is reformulated so that its correct results remain
intact and four puzzles afflicting it disappear. The puzzles are 1)
realist interpretation, 2) origin of classical properties, 3) disturbance
of measurement by identical particles and 4) quantum measurement. For
example, the usual applications of standard quantum mechanics to
measurement are incorrect because they neglect the disturbance by
identical particles, which follows from the same quantum mechanics. A
correct approach shows that the measurement process differs from all
other quantum processes and that standard quantum mechanics is ambiguous
for it so that new rules on measurement can be added. Such rules are
analogous to, but different from, and better understood than, the collapse
of wave function.
