Realism and causality I: Pilot wave and retrocausal models as possible facilitators

Published by on

Eliahu Cohen, Marina Cortês, Avshalom C. Elitzur, Lee Smolin (Submitted on 13 Feb 2019 (v1), last revised 19 Mar 2019 (this version, v2)) https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.05108v2 Of all basic principles of classical physics, realism should arguably be the last to be given up when seeking a better interpretation of quantum mechanics. We examine the de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory as a well developed example of… Read more →

Continuity of measurement outcomes. (arXiv:1805.12404v1 [quant-ph])  quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-02 3:59am GMT Authors: J. Sperling It is demonstrated that the collapse of the wave function is equivalent to the continuity of measurement outcomes. The latter states that a second measurement has to result in the same outcome as the first measurement of the same observable for a vanishing time… Read more →

Branches of the Black Hole Wave Function Need Not Contain Firewalls. (arXiv:1712.04955v1 [hep-th])  hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2017-12-16 2:35am GMT Authors: Ning Bao, Sean M. Carroll, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Jason Pollack, Grant N. Remmen We discuss the branching structure of the quantum-gravitational wave function that describes the evaporation of a black hole. A global wave function that initially describes a classical Schwarzschild geometry is continually… Read more →

Aspects of Symmetry, Topology and Anomalies in Quantum Matter. (arXiv:1602.05569v1 [cond-mat.str-el] CROSS LISTED)  quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2017-5-26 3:49am GMT Authors: Juven C. Wang In this thesis, we explore the aspects of symmetry, topology and anomalies in quantum matter with entanglement from both condensed matter and high energy theory viewpoints. The focus of our research is on the gapped many-body… Read more →
