Nonlinear Quantum Mechanics and Locality∗
It is shown that, in order to avoid unacceptable nonlocal effects, the free parameters of the general Doebner-Goldin equation have to be chosen such that this nonlinear Schrödinger equation becomes Galilean covariant.
متن کاملCounterfactuals and Non-locality of Quantum Mechanics
In the paper the proof of the non-locality of quantum mechanics, given recently by H. Stapp and D. Bedford, and appealing to the GHZ example, is analyzed. The proof does not contain any explicit assumption of realism, but instead it uses formal methods and techniques of the Lewis calculus of counterfactuals. To ascertain the validity of the proof, a formal semantic model for counterfactuals is ...
متن کاملQuantum reference systems: reconciling locality with quantum mechanics
The status of locality in quantum mechanics is analyzed from a nonstandard point of view. It is assumed that quantum states are relative in the sense that they depend on and are defined with respect to some bigger physical system which contains the former system as a subsystem. Hence, the bigger system acts as a reference system. It is shown that quantum mechanics can be reformulated in accorda...
متن کاملNambu Quantum Mechanics: A Nonlinear Generalization of Geometric Quantum Mechanics
We propose a generalization of the standard geometric formulation of quantum mechanics, based on the classical Nambu dynamics of free Euler tops. This extended quantum mechanics has in lieu of the standard exponential time evolution, a nonlinear temporal evolution given by Jacobi elliptic functions. In the limit where latter’s moduli parameters are set to zero, the usual geometric formulation o...
متن کاملLocality and the classical limit of quantum mechanics
I argue that conventional estimates of the criterion for classical behavior of a macroscopic body are incorrect, because they do not take into account the locality of interactions, which characterizes the behavior of all systems described approximately by local quantum field theory. Black holes are the only localized objects which do not have such a description. The deviations from classical be...
