No time asymmetry from quantum mechanics.
نویسنده
چکیده
With CPT-invariant initial conditions that commute with CPT-invariant final conditions, the respective probabilities (when defined) of a set of histories and its CPT reverse are equal, giving a CPT-symmetric universe. This leads me to question whether the asymmetry of the Gell-Mann–Hartle decoherence functional for ordinary quantum mechanics should be interpreted as an asymmetry of time .

Quantum Mechanics and the Mechanism of Sexual Reproduction
There are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. The mechanism of the meiosis, mitosis and gametes life cycle from the view-point of quantum for human has been represented. The quantum gates have been used to simulate these processes for the first time. The reason of several hundred sperms has been explained in the male too

متن کاملThe simple failure of Curie’s Principle
An intuitive way to express the idea is perhaps: if no asymmetry goes in, then no asymmetry comes out. I would like to point out a simple sense in which this formulation of Curie’s Principle fails, when the symmetry transformation is time reversal. I will begin by illustrating a very simple counterexample in classical Hamiltonian mechanics, and then show how this counterexample is endemic to qu...
متن کاملProbability in physics: stochastic, statistical, quantum
I review the role of probability in contemporary physics and the origin of probabilistic time asymmetry, beginning with the pre-quantum case (both stochastic mechanics and classical statistical mechanics) but concentrating on quantum theory. I argue that quantum mechanics radically changes the pre-quantum situation and that the philosophical nature of objective probability in physics, and of pr...
متن کاملThe Two-State Vector Formalism of Quantum Mechanics
In this paper we present the two-state vector formalism of quantum mechanics. It is a time-symmetrized approach to standard quantum theory particularly helpful for the analysis of experiments performed on preand post-selected ensembles. Several peculiar effects which naturally arise in this approach are considered. In particular, the concept of “weak measurements” (standard measurements with we...
