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.

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 →

Unwinding Short-Range Entanglement. (arXiv:1804.11236v1 [quant-ph] CROSS LISTED) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-5-05 1:16am GMT Authors: Abhishodh Prakash, Juven Wang, Tzu-Chieh Wei Symmetry-Protected Topological (SPT) phases are short-range entangled (SRE) gapped phases of quantum matter protected by global symmetries, that cannot be unitarily and adiabatically deformed to a trivial phase without closing the gap or breaking symmetry. In this work, we show that,… Read more →
Are there really conformal frames? Uniqueness of affine inflation. (arXiv:1802.01247v2 [gr-qc] UPDATED) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-4-28 8:09am GMT Authors: Hemza Azri Here we concisely review the nonminimal coupling dynamics of a single scalar field in the context of purely affine gravity and extend the study to multifield dynamics. The coupling is performed via an affine connection and its associated… Read more →
H-theorem and Maxwell Demon in Quantum Physics. (arXiv:1804.06886v1 [quant-ph]) quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-4-21 2:11am GMT Authors: N.S. Kirsanov, A.V. Lebedev, I.A. Sadovskyy, M.V. Suslov, V.M. Vinokur, G. Blatter, G.B. Lesovik The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that temporal evolution of an isolated system occurs with non-diminishing entropy. In quantum realm, this holds for energy-isolated systems the evolution of which is described by the so-called unital… Read more →

A Finite Theory of Qubit Physics. (arXiv:1804.01734v1 [quant-ph]) quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-4-07 1:45am GMT Authors: T.N.Palmer Hardy’s axiomatic approach to the quantum theory of discrete Hilbert Spaces reveals that just one principle distinguishes it from classical probability theory: there should be continuous (and hence infinitesimal) reversible transformations between any pair of pure states – the single word `continuous’ giving… Read more →
Decoherence and Determinism in a One-Dimensional Cloud-Chamber Model Latest Results for Foundations of Physics on 2018-4-01 12:00am GMT Abstract The hypothesis (Sparenberg et al. in EPJ Web Conf 58:01016, [1]. http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/20135801016) that the particular linear tracks appearing in the measurement of a spherically-emitting radioactive source in a cloud chamber are determined by the (random) positions of atoms or molecules inside the… Read more →
