Geometric phase in the causal quantum theories
The projective-geometric formulation of geometric phase for any ensemble in the causal quantum theories is given. This formulation generalizes the standard formulation of geometric phase to any causal ensemble including the cases of a single causal trajectory, the experimental geometric phase and the classical geometric phase.
متن کاملTowards Quantum Gravity: A Framework for Probabilistic Theories with Non-Fixed Causal Structure
General relativity is a deterministic theory with non-fixed causal structure. Quantum theory is a probabilistic theory with fixed causal structure. In this paper we build a framework for probabilistic theories with non-fixed causal structure. This combines the radical elements of general relativity and quantum theory. We adopt an operational methodology for the purposes of theory construction (...
متن کاملProbability Theories with Dynamic Causal Structure: A New Framework for Quantum Gravity
Quantum theory is a probabilistic theory with fixed causal structure. General relativity is a deterministic theory but where the causal structure is dynamic. It is reasonable to expect that quantum gravity will be a probabilistic theory with dynamic causal structure. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for such a probability calculus. We define an operational notion of space-tim...

متن کاملOn Symmetries in (Anti)Causal (Non)Abelian Quantum Theories
(Anti)causal boundary conditions being imposed on the (seemingly) Hermitian Quantum Theory (HQT) as described in standard textbooks lead to an (Anti)Causal Quantum Theory ((A)CQT) with an indefinite metric (see e.g. [1–6]). Therefore, an (anti)causal neutral scalar field is not Hermitian, as one (anti)causal neutral scalar field consists of a non-Hermitian linear combination of two (Hermitian) ...
