Quantum dissipation induced noncommutative geometry

Quantum Dissipation Induced Noncommutative Geometry

The quantum statistical dynamics of a position coordinate x coupled to a reservoir requires theoretically two copies of the position coordinate within the reduced density matrix description. One coordinate moves forward in time while the other coordinate moves backward in time. It is shown that quantum dissipation induces, in the plane of the forward and backward motions, a noncommutative geome...

Quantum Groups and Noncommutative Geometry

Quantum groups emerged in the latter quarter of the 20th century as, on the one hand, a deep and natural generalisation of symmetry groups for certain integrable systems, and on the other as part of a generalisation of geometry itself powerful enough to make sense in the quantum domain. Just as the last century saw the birth of classical geometry, so the present century sees at its end the birt...

Noncommutative Geometry and Quantum Groups

Remarks on Quantum Physics and Noncommutative Geometry

The quantum-event / prime ideal in a category/ noncommutative-point alternative to classical-event / commutative prime ideal/ point is suggested. Ideals in additive categories, prime spectra and representation of quivers are considered as mathematical tools appropriate to model quantum mechanics. The space-time framework is to be reconstructed from the spectrum of the path category of a quiver....

Quantum Mechanics on a Noncommutative Geometry

Quantum mechanics in its presently known formulation requires an external classical time for its description. A classical spacetime manifold and a classical spacetime metric are produced by classical matter fields. In the absence of such classical matter fields, quantum mechanics should be formulated without reference to a classical time. If such a new formulation exists, it follows as a conseq...
