Quantum Chaos, Classical Randomness, and Bohmian Mechanics
Department of Mathematics Rutgers University New Brunswick, NJ 08903 Abstract. It is argued that dynamical chaos in quantum mechanics arises solely from the collapse rule applied in measurements. As such it is quite distinct from classical (deterministic) chaos, which arises from the dynamical law itself. It is shown, however, that if the particles of a quantum system are regarded as “real,” i....
متن کاملQuantum mechanics and algorithmic randomness
A long sequence of tosses of a classical coin produces an apparently random bit string, but classical randomness is an illusion: the algorithmic information content of a classically-generated bit string lies almost entirely in the description of initial conditions. This letter presents a simple argument that, by contrast, a sequence of bits produced by tossing a quantum coin is, almost certainl...
متن کاملMixing Quantum and Classical Mechanics
Using a group theoretical approach we derive an equation of motion for a mixed quantum-classical system. The quantum-classical bracket entering the equation preserves the Lie algebra structure of quantum and classical mechanics: The bracket is antisymmetric and satisfies the Jacobi identity, and, therefore, leads to a natural description of interaction between quantum and classical degrees of f...
متن کاملThe equivalence principle in classical mechanics and quantum mechanics ∗
We discuss our understanding of the equivalence principle in both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. We show that not only does the equivalence principle hold for the trajectories of quantum particles in a background gravitational field, but also that it is only because of this that the equivalence principle is even to be expected to hold for classical particles at all. While the equiva...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics, Randomness, and Deterministic Reality
We describe and analyze a new formulation of Bohmian mechanics—the deterministic theory of particles in motion that emerges from Schrödinger’s equation for a system of particles when we merely insist that “particles” means particles. This mechanics resolves all paradoxes associated with the measurement problem in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. It accounts for quantum randomness, absolute un...
