Lorentzian quantum reality: postulates and toy models.
We describe postulates for a novel realist version of relativistic quantum theory or quantum field theory in Minkowski space and other background space-times, and illustrate their application with toy models.
متن کاملRelational Particle Models as Toy Models for Quantum Gravity and Quantum Cosmology
It is argued that substantial portions of Newtonian mechanics (relational particle models) and general relativity are relational (rather than absolute) theories. I furthermore use the relational particle models as toy models to investigate the problem of time in closed-universe canonical quantum general relativity. I consider thus in particular the internal time, semiclassical and consistent re...
متن کاملQuantum mechanics without statistical postulates
The Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics is used in order to describe the measurement process in an intuitive way without a reduction postulate in the framework of a deterministic single system theory. Thereby the motion of the hidden classical particle is chaotic during almost all nontrivial measurement processes. For the correct reproduction of experimental results, it is further essentia...
متن کاملDiscrete Lorentzian Quantum Gravity
Just as for non-abelian gauge theories at strong coupling, discrete lattice methods are a natural tool in the study of non-perturbative quantum gravity. They have to reflect the fact that the geometric degrees of freedom are dynamical, and that therefore also the lattice theory must be formulated in a background-independent way. After summarizing the status quo of discrete covariant lattice mod...
متن کاملLorentzian quantum cosmology
We argue that the Lorentzian path integral is a better starting point for quantum cosmology than its Euclidean counterpart. In particular, we revisit the minisuperspace calculation of the Feynman path integral for quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant. Instead of rotating to Euclidean time, we deform the contour of integration over metrics into the complex plane, exploiting Pica...
