Quantum mechanical observers: a phase space approach
نویسنده
چکیده
A quantum mechanical observer might be describable as having a reference system that is a superposition of classical inertial reference frames. The present paper suggests a possible weighting function in such superpositions, determined by the product of the observer’s wavefunction and the Fourier transform of the wavefunction at each point in phase space. This suggestion is made because each of these factors has a simple interpretation as a probability density amplitude. Other forms for the weighting function may well be possible.

The “extended Phase Space” Approach to Quantum Geometrodynamics: What Can It Give for the Development of Quantum Gravity?
The talk is devoted to the “extended phase space” approach to Quantum Geometrodynamics. The premises that have led to the formulation of this approach are briefly reviewed, namely, non-trivial topology of the Universe which implies the absence of asymptotic states, in contrast to situations one usually deals in ordinary quantum field theory; parametrization noninvariance in the Wheeler – DeWitt...
متن کاملDuality, Quantum Mechanics and (Almost) Complex Manifolds
The classical mechanics of a finite number of degrees of freedom requires a symplectic structure on phase space C, but it is independent of any complex structure. On the contrary, the quantum theory is intimately linked with the choice of a complex structure on C. When the latter is a complex–analytic manifold admitting just one complex structure, there is a unique quantisation whose classical ...
متن کاملQuantum–Mechanical Dualities on the Torus
On classical phase spaces admitting just one complex–differentiable structure, there is no indeterminacy in the choice of the creation operators that create quanta out of a given vacuum. In these cases the notion of a quantum is universal, i.e., independent of the observer on classical phase space. Such is the case in all standard applications of quantum mechanics. However, recent developments ...
