This article concludes our critical analysis on the role of non-commutativity in quantum theory. After a brief introduction of the necessary notions on point processes, we re-analyse model B proposed in "On non-commutativity in quantum…
A central feature of quantum mechanics is the non-commutativity of operators used to describe physical observables. In this article, we present a critical analysis on the role of non-commutativity in quantum theory, focusing on its…
Toy models of a non-associative quantum mechanics are presented. The Heisenberg equation of motion is modified using a non-associative commutator. Possible physical applications of a non-associative quantum mechanics are considered. The…
We discuss various symmetry properties of the reparametrization invariant toy model of a free non-relativistic particle and show that its commutativity and noncommutativity (NC) properties are the artifact of the underlying symmetry…
These are the notes written for the talk given at the workshop Rethinking foundations of physics 2016. In section 2, a derivation of the the quantum formalism starting from propositional calculus (quantum logic) is reviewed, pointing out…
We propose a mathematical structure, based on a noncommutative geometry, which combines essential aspects of general relativity and quantum mechanics, and leads to correct "limiting cases" of both these theories. We quantize a groupoid…
A quantum mechanical model for the systems consisting of interacting bodies is considered. The model takes into account the noncommutativity of the space and impulse operators and the correlation equations for the indeterminacy of these…
It is known that non-commuting observables in quantum mechanics do not have joint probability. This statement refers to the precise (additive) probability model. I show that the joint distribution of any non-commuting pair of variables can…
A novel geometric model of a noncommutative plane has been constructed. We demonstrate that it can be construed as a toy model for describing and explaining the basic features of physics in a noncommutative spacetime from a field theory…
Quantum theory does not provide a unique definition for the joint probability of two non-commuting observables, which is the next important question after the Born's probability for a single observable. Instead, various definitions were…
We formulate non-relativistic classical and quantum mechanics in the non-commutative two dimensional plane. The approach we use is based on the Galilei group, where the non-commutativity is seen as a central extension upon identification of…
The toy model of a particle on a vertical rotating circle in the presence of uniform gravitational/ magnetic fields is explored in detail. After an analysis of the classical mechanics of the problem we then discuss the quantum mechanics…
It is natural to ask whether non-commutative geometry plays a role in four dimensional physics. By performing explicit computations in various toy models, we show that quantum effects lead to violations of Lorentz invariance at the level of…
We present a toy model for interacting matter and geometry that explores quantum dynamics in a spin system as a precursor to a quantum theory of gravity. The model has no a priori geometric properties, instead, locality is inferred from the…
We discuss systematically several possible inequivalent ways to describe the dynamics and the transition probabilities of a quantum system when its hamiltonian is not self-adjoint. In order to simplify the treatment, we mainly restrict our…
Classical objects have been excluded as subjects of the observed quantum properties, and the related problem of the nature of quantum objects has been suspended since the early days of Quantum Theory. Recent experiments show that the…
We present a pedagogical review of particle physics models that are based on the noncommutativity of space-time, $[\hat{x}_\mu,\hat{x}_\nu]=i \theta_{\mu \nu}$, with specific attention to the phenomenology these models predict in particle…
We investigate the classical Brownian motion of a particle in a two-dimensional noncommutative (NC) space. Using the standard NC algebra embodied by the sympletic Weyl-Moyal formalism we find that noncommutativity induces a non-vanishing…
We generalize the formulation of non-commutative quantum mechanics to three dimensional non-commutative space. Particular attention is paid to the identification of the quantum Hilbert space in which the physical states of the system are to…
In this paper two hypotheses are developed. The first hypothesis is the existence of random phenomena/experiments in which the events cannot generally be assigned a definite probability but that nevertheless admit a class of nearly certain…
