We adopt a 'thermodynamical' formulation of Mach's principle that the rest mass of a particle in the Universe is a measure of its long-range collective interactions with all other particles inside the horizon. We consider all particles in…

We explore the transient dynamics associated with the emergence of the classical signal in the full quantum system. We start our study from the instability which promotes the squeezing of the quantum system. This is often interpreted as the…

We discuss the dynamics of single particle by laying a hypothesis that the Hamilton's principle of stationary action is not exact. We then postulate that the deviation of the action with sufficiently short time interval from the stationary…

A new class of random quantum--dynamical systems in continuous space is introduced and studied in some detail. Each member of the class is characterized by a Hamiltonian which is the sum of two parts. While one part is deterministic,…
In the framework of quantum open systems, that is, simple quantum systems coupled to quantum baths, our aim is to characterize those actions of the quantum environment which give rise to dynamics dictated by classical noises. First, we…
The relationship between classical and quantum mechanics is explored in an intuitive manner by the exercise of constructing a wave in association with a classical particle. Using special relativity, the time coordinate in the frame of…
We study a slow classical system [particle] coupled to a fast quantum system with discrete energy spectrum. We adiabatically exclude the quantum system and construct an autonomous dynamics for the classical particle in successive orders of…
An exact uncertainty principle, formulated as the assumption that a classical ensemble is subject to random momentum fluctuations of a strength which is determined by and scales inversely with uncertainty in position, leads from the…
Quantum mechanics is derived as an application of the method of maximum entropy. No appeal is made to any underlying classical action principle whether deterministic or stochastic. Instead, the basic assumption is that in addition to the…
