In this paper we discuss the unitary inequivalentness in quantum physics. Then based on some of the current outstanding problems in theoretical physics, we will show the important role of this concept to better understand the physical…
The relational version of the modal interpretation offers both a consistent quantum ontology and solution for quantum paradoxes within the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. In the present paper this approach is generalized for…
Presented is a quantum computing representation of Dirac particle dynamics. The approach employs an operator splitting method that is an analytically closed-form product decomposition of the unitary evolution operator. This allows the Dirac…
By starting from the modified Maxwell theory coupled to gravity, the arising of geometric quantum phases in the relativistic and nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a Dirac neutral particle from the effects of the violation of the Lorentz…
In recent works, \v{C}aslav Brukner and Jacques Pienaar have raised interesting objections to the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. We answer these objections in detail and show that, far from questioning the viability of the…
This paper gives a brief description of the derivation of a composition law for the propagator of a relativistic particle, in a sum over histories quantization. The extension of this derivation to the problem of finding a composition law…
I investigate useful shape quantities for the classical and quantum mechanics of the relational quadrilateral in 2-d. This is relational in the sense that only relative times, relative ratios of separations and relative angles are…
We provide a minimal, self-contained introduction to the covariant DFR flat quantum spacetime, and to some partial results for the corresponding quantum field theory. Explicit equations are given in the Dirac notation.
Firstly we discuss different versions of noncommutative space-time and corresponding appearance of quantum space-time groups. Further we consider the relation between quantum deformations of relativistic symmetries and so-called doubly…
We present a reformulation of quantum mechanics in terms of probability measures and functions on a general classical sample space and in particular in terms of probability densities and functions on phase space. The basis of our proceeding…
I investigate the quantum dynamics of a spin-$1/2$ particle in a static, spherically symmetric Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) black-hole spacetime within the Hamiltonian framework. Starting from the Dirac equation in curved spacetime,…
In this talk I shall first make some brief remarks on quaternionic quantum mechanics, and then describe recent work with A.C. Millard in which we show that standard complex quantum field theory can arise as the statistical mechanics of an…
We elaborate on the existing idea that quantum mechanics is an emergent phenomenon, in the form of a coarse-grained description of some underlying deterministic theory. We apply the Ricci flow as a technical tool to implement dissipation,…
A generalized algebra of quantum observables, depending on extra dimensional constants, is considered. Some limiting forms of the algebra are investigated and their possible applications to the descriptions of interactions of fundamental…
An attempt to incorporate relativistic kinematics in the description of light quark systems is made. It seems that the way of such incorporation along the suggestion expressed by R. Gaida and his collaborators is very promising. Comparison…
Geometrical model for quantum objects is suggested. It is shown that equations for free material Dirac field and for Maxwell electromagnetic field can be considered as relations describing propagation of the space topological defects. This…
In the tradition of toy models of quantum mechanics in vector spaces over finite fields (e.g., Schumacher and Westmoreland's "modal quantum theory"), one finite field stands out, 2, since vectors over 2 have an interpretation as natural…
The two-dimensional relativistic configurational $\vec r$-space is proposed and the exactly solvable finite-difference model of the harmonic oscillator in this space is constructed. The wave functions of the stationary states and the…
Dirac's contributions to the discovery of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics, prior to his discovery of the relativistic wave equation, are described.
Using the example of a Dirac particle in external static fields, Dirac theory is reformulated as a one-particle quantum theory in the space of normalized two-component spinors. In this formulation, the Dirac operator ``splits'' into two…
