Adaptive coarse graining , environment , strong decoherence , and quasiclassical realms
Three ideas are introduced that when brought together characterize the realistic quasiclassical realms of our quantum universe as particular kinds of sets of alternative coarse-grained histories defined by quasiclassical variables: (i) branch-dependent adaptive coarse grainings that can be close to maximally refined and can simplify calculation, (ii) narrative coarse grainings that describe how...
متن کاملv 2 1 1 A pr 1 99 4 Quasiclassical Domains In A Quantum Universe
In this universe, governed fundamentally by quantum mechanical laws, characterized by indeterminism and distributed probabilities, classical deterministic laws are applicable over a wide range of time, place, and scale. We review the origin of these deterministic laws in the context of the quantum mechanics of closed systems, most generally, the universe as a whole. In this formulation of quant...
متن کاملInterface of Gravitational and Quantum Realms
The talk centers around the question: Can general-relativistic description of physical reality be considered complete? On the way I argue how – unknown to many a physicists, even today – the “forty orders of magnitude argument” against quantum gravity phenomenology was defeated more than a quarter of a century ago, and how we now stand at the possible verge of detecting a signal for the spaceti...
متن کاملQuantum and quasiclassical types of superfluid turbulence.
By injecting negative ions in superfluid 4He in the zero-temperature limit (T<or=0.5 K), we have generated tangles of quantized vortex line with negligible large-scale flow. For this quantum regime of superfluid turbulence, the vortex line length L was found to decay at late time t as L proportional to t{-1}, the prefactor being independent of the initial value of L. The corresponding effective...
متن کاملAt the Interface of Quantum and Gravitational Realms
In this talk I review a series of recent conceptual developments at the interface of the quantum and gravitational realms. Wherever possible, I comment on the possibility to probe the interface experimentally. It is concluded that the underlying spacetime for a quantum theory of gravity must be non-commutative, that wave-particle duality suffers significant modification at the Planck scale, and...
