The Thomas program and the canonical proper-time theory
In a seminal paper, L. H. Thomas suggested that a many-particle relativistic dynamics can be constructed provided that we give up the assumption of invariant world-lines. In the first part of this paper, we show that, using only retarded potentials, a completely consistent action-ata-distance classical electrodynamics can be constructed, which provides the correct dissipative force (back reacti...
متن کاملFoundations for proper-time relativistic quantum theory
This paper is a progress report on the foundations for the canonical proper-time approach to relativistic quantum theory. We first review the the standard square-root equation of relativistic quantum theory, followed by a review of the Dirac equation, providing new insights into the physical properties of both. We then introduce the canonical proper-time theory. For completeness, we give a brie...
متن کاملQuantum Measurement, Gravitation, and Locality *
This essay argues that when measurement processes involve energies of the order of the Planck scale, the fundamental assumption of locality may no longer be a good approximation. Idealized position measurements of two distinguishable spin-0 particles are considered. The measurements alter the space-time metric in a fundamental manner governed by the commutation relations [xi pj] = ih̄ δij and th...
متن کاملQuantum separability, time reversal and canonical decompositions
We propose an interpretation of quantum separability based on a physical principle: local time reversal. It immediately leads to a simple characterization of separable quantum states that reproduces results known to hold for binary composite systems and which thereby is complete for low dimensions. We then describe a constructive algorithm for finding the canonical decomposition of separable an...
متن کاملGravitation, Thermodynamics, and Quantum Theory
During the past 30 years, research in general relativity has brought to light strong hints of a very deep and fundamental relationship between gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory. The most striking indication of such a relationship comes from black hole thermodynamics, where it appears that certain laws of black hole mechanics are, in fact, simply the ordinary laws of thermodynamics...
