Action Duality: A Constructive Principle for Quantum Foundations
An analysis of the path integral approach to quantum theory motivates the hypothesis that two experiments with the same classical action should have dual ontological descriptions. If correct, this hypothesis would not only constrain realistic interpretations of quantum theory, but would also act as a constructive principle, allowing any realistic model of one experiment to generate a correspond...
متن کاملQuantum Duality Principle for Quantum Grassmannians
The quantum duality principle (QDP) for homogeneous spaces gives four recipes to obtain, from a quantum homogeneous space, a dual one, in the sense of Poisson duality. One of these recipes fails (for lack of the initial ingredient) when the homogeneous space we start from is not a quasi-affine variety. In this work we solve this problem for the quantum Grassmannian, a key example of quantum pro...
متن کاملConstructive Foundations for Z
The speciication language Z is based on classical logic and extensional set theory. These are mathematical choices which are largely independent of Z and its calculus of schemata. This paper explores the possibilities of replacing classical logic with intuitionistic logic and extensional set theory with intensional set theory, and some of the consequences of these changes for principles of prog...
متن کاملAction Principle for Continuous Quantum Measurement
We present a stochastic path integral formalism for continuous quantum measurement that enables the analysis of rare events using action methods. By doubling the quantum state space to a canonical phase space, we can write the joint probability density function of measurement outcomes and quantum state trajectories as a phase space path integral. Extremizing this action produces the most likely...
متن کاملAction Principle for Non-Abelian Twisted Self-Duality
The dynamics of abelian vector and antisymmetric tensor gauge fields can be described in terms of twisted self-duality equations. The latter play an important role in exposing the duality symmetries of the theory. I this contribution I review recent progress in the construction of action principles for these equations and in particular their non-abelian generalizations.
