Dimensional reduction via a novel Higgs mechanism. (arXiv:1806.07520v1 [gr-qc] CROSS LISTED) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-23 1:03am GMT Authors: Saurya Das, Mir Faizal Many theories of quantum gravity live in higher dimensions, and their reduction to four dimensions via mechanisms such as Kaluza-Klein compactification or brane world models have associated problems. We propose a novel mechanism of dimensional reduction via spontaneous… Read more →
Quantum gravity tomography. (arXiv:1806.05643v1 [hep-th]) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-16 1:14am GMT Authors: William Donnelly The holographic principle posits that all quantum information in a region of spacetime is encoded on its boundary. While there is strong evidence for this principle in certain models of quantum gravity in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime, it is yet to be established whether holography… Read more →
Why initial system-environment correlations do not imply the failure of complete positivity: a causal perspective. (arXiv:1806.02381v1 [quant-ph]) quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-09 12:56am GMT Authors: David Schmid, Katja Reid, Robert W. Spekkens The common wisdom in the field of quantum information theory is that when a system is initially correlated with its environment, the map describing its evolution may fail to be… Read more →
Continuity of measurement outcomes. (arXiv:1805.12404v1 [quant-ph]) quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-02 3:59am GMT Authors: J. Sperling It is demonstrated that the collapse of the wave function is equivalent to the continuity of measurement outcomes. The latter states that a second measurement has to result in the same outcome as the first measurement of the same observable for a vanishing time… Read more →

Lets Talk About Black Hole Singularities. (arXiv:1805.05865v2 [physics.pop-ph] CROSS LISTED) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-5-19 12:49am GMT Authors: Abraham Loeb (Harvard) Does the collision of black hole singularities imprint an observable quantum signature on the resulting gravitational wave signal? Stephen Hawking: To Understand the Universe. (arXiv:1803.09197v2 [physics.hist-ph] UPDATED) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-5-19 12:49am GMT Authors: James B. Hartle (UCSB and SFI)… Read more →
A theorem about time evolution in the quantum mechanics. (arXiv:1805.03689v1 [quant-ph]) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-5-11 3:26am GMT Authors: M. A. Rajabpour Under broad conditions, we prove that the probability amplitudes in the quantum mechanics are either always constant in time or changing continuously in any interval of time. Testing Lorentz- and CPT-invariance with ultracold neutrons. (arXiv:1805.04062v1 [hep-th]) hep-th updates… Read more →
I would like to discuss the Relativistic Transactional Interpretation, specifically the explicit derivation of the Born Rule for radiative processes as presented in my recent paper with John Cramer (https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04501). It appears clear that TI and RTI provide a physical account of measurement as well as a physical derivation of the Born Rule. Previous objections to TI (such as that… Read more →
