Weekly Papers on Quantum Foundations (43)

On the Consistency of the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation in the Quantized Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld Gravity. (arXiv:1810.10918v1 [gr-qc])  hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-26 3:30am GMT Authors: Mariam Bouhmadi-López, Che-Yu Chen, Pisin Chen We re-examine the quantum geometrodynamical approach within the Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld theory of gravity, which was first proposed in our previous work [1]. A thorough analysis of the classical Hamiltonian with constraints is carried and… Read more →

50 years in the Landau Institute environment. (arXiv:1810.04447v5 [physics.hist-ph] UPDATED)  physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-20 1:07am GMT Authors: G.E. Volovik Khalatnikov created the unique Institute, where practically all the important areas of theoretical physics have been represented, opening the broad way for collaboration. Here I discuss the influence of the multilayer environment of Landau Institute on my work during 50… Read more →

Bohm’s approach to quantum mechanics: Alternative theory or practical picture?. (arXiv:1707.00609v2 [quant-ph] UPDATED)  physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-06 12:59am GMT Authors: A. S. Sanz Since its inception Bohmian mechanics has been generally regarded as a hidden-variable theory aimed at providing an objective description of quantum phenomena. To date, this rather narrow conception of Bohm’s proposal has caused it more rejection… Read more →

A Toy Model of the Information Paradox in Empty Space. (arXiv:1809.10154v1 [hep-th])  gr-qc updates on arXiv.org on 2018-9-28 12:43pm GMT Authors: Suvrat Raju A sharp version of the information paradox involves a seeming violation of the monogamy of entanglement during black hole evaporation. We construct an analogous paradox in empty anti-de Sitter space. In a local quantum field theory, Bell correlations… Read more →

Bouncing oil droplets, de Broglie’s quantum thermostat and convergence to equilibrium. (arXiv:1807.00569v4 [quant-ph] UPDATED)  quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-9-22 7:24am GMT Authors: Mohamed Hatifi, Ralph Willox, Samuel Colin, Thomas Durt Recently, the properties of bouncing oil droplets, also known as “walkers”, have attracted much attention because they are thought to offer a gateway to a better understanding of quantum behaviour. They constitute indeed… Read more →

International Workshop on “The Meaning of the Wave Function”

We are delighted to announce that the International Workshop on “The Meaning of the Wave Function” will be held at Shanxi University, Taiyuan (also known as the Dragon City), China, from October 12, 2018 to October 14, 2018. The workshop is organized by the Research Center for Philosophy of Science and Technology of Shanxi University. The meaning of the wave function… Read more →
