We elucidate the basic physical mechanisms responsible for the quantum-classical transition in one-dimensional, bounded chaotic systems subject to unconditioned environmental interactions. We show that such a transition occurs due to the…

We propose a definition of wavefunction "branchings": quantum superpositions which can't be feasibly distinguished from the corresponding mixed state, even under time evolution. Our definition is largely independent of interpretations,…

We show that the natural motion of particles in continuous space-time (CSTM) is not classical continuous motion (CCM), but one kind of essentially discontinuous motion, the wave function in quantum mechanics is the very mathematical complex…

The choice of mathematical representation when describing physical systems is of great consequence, and this choice is usually determined by the properties of the problem at hand. Here we examine the little-known wave operator…

A principle is proposed according to which the dynamics of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional configuration space (OCS) is determined by a variational problem for two functionals: one is based on the mean value of the Hamilton…
