Quantum Equivalence Principle In A Universal Hilbert Space

Michael York We propose a unifying quantum framework in which Einstein’s equivalence principle is generalized to a universal Hilbert space in which all interaction is treated as a generalization of a frame transformation and represented by a change of basis. In our scheme intrinsic information is carried by a physical system independently of any frame of reference (or basis). A… Read more →

Emergence of Spacetime Through Interaction

Furkan Semih Dündar and Baris Tamer Tonguc We study kinematics of atoms and molecules in quantum shape dynamics. We analyzed a model universe where there is only electrical force between protons and electrons. A similar model where there is only gravitational attraction between masses was investigated by Barbour, Koslowski and Mercati before. Our results is an expansion of the ideas there. We found… Read more →
