The classical-quantum hybrid canonical dynamics and its difficulties with special and general relativity   from gr-qc by Lajos Di\’osiFri Apr 12 2024 14:58:09 (18 hours)# 1. arXiv:2404.07723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We discuss the Hamiltonian hybrid coupling between a classical and a quantum subsystem. If applicable to classical gravity coupled to quantized matter, this hybrid theory might realize a captivating `postquantum’ alternative to… Read more →

A new indeterminacy-based quantum theory   from physics.hist-ph by Francisco PipaFri Apr 05 2024 13:06:36 (21 hours)# 1. arXiv:2310.04002v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: I propose a novel (interpretation of) quantum theory, which I will call Environmental Determinacy-based or EnD Quantum Theory (EnDQT). In contrast to the well-known quantum theories, EnDQT has the benefit of not adding hidden variables, and it is not in… Read more →
