On the problem of hidden variables for quantum field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that QFT (as well as QM) is not a complete physical theory. We constructed a classical statistical model inducing quantum field averages. The phase space consists of square integrable functions, f(φ), of the classical bosonic field, φ(x). We call our model prequantum classical statistical field-functional theory – PCSFFT. The correspondence between classical averages given by PCSFFT and quantum field averages given by QFT is asymptotic. The QFT-average gives the main term in the expansion of the PCSFFT-average with respect to the small parameter α – dispersion of fluctuations of “vacuum field functionals.” The Scrödinger equation of QFT is obtained as the Hamilton equation for functionals, F (f), of classical field functions, f(φ). The main experimental prediction of PCSFFT is that QFT gives only approximative statistical predictions that might be violated in future experiments.

Exploring the implications of the laws and principles of quantum physics in the field of talent (quantum theory of talent)
The issue of talent-discovering is one of the most important issues in the field of education and research that has always been a concern for educational systems. Studying the issues of identifying and guiding talented students can illuminate a large part of the activities of the executors and practitioners in order to accomplish their mission effectively. On the other hand, quantum physics has...
متن کاملCan hidden variables theories meet quantum computation?
We study the relation between hidden variables theories and quantum computation. We discuss an inconsistency between a hidden variables theory and controllability of quantum computation. To derive the inconsistency, we use the maximum value of the square of an expected value. We propose a solution of the problem by using new hidden variables theory. Also we discuss an inconsistency between hidd...
متن کاملQuantum Computing and Hidden Variables
This paper initiates the study of hidden variables from a quantum computing perspective. For us, a hidden-variable theory is simply a way to convert a unitary matrix that maps one quantum state to another, into a stochastic matrix that maps the initial probability distribution to the final one in some fixed basis. We list five axioms that we might want such a theory to satisfy, and then investi...
متن کاملToy Quantum Mechanics Using Hidden Variables
It is used to state that no local theory assuming any kind of evolving-in-time physical field (hidden variables) can reproduce the same predictions as standard quantum mechanics. Bell formulated a corresponding theorem in [1]. An advanced variant of the theorem was proposed in [2]. Feynman, in [3], stated another but analogous idea: not any classical computational device (even when probabilisti...
متن کاملFoundational aspects of nonlocality
Nonlocality refers to correlations between spatially separated parties that are stronger than those explained by the existence of local hidden variables. Quantum mechanics is known to allow some nonlocal correlations between particles in a phenomena known as entanglement. We explore several aspects of nonlocality in general and how they relate to quantum mechanics. First, we construct a hierarc...
