Space-time, relativity and quantum mechanics: In search of a deeper connection
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been shown that the Lorentz transformations in special relativity can be derived in terms of the principle of relativity and certain properties of space and time such as homogeneity. In this paper, we argue that the free Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics may also be regarded as a consequence of the homogeneity of space and time and the principle of relativity when assuming linearity of time evolution.

We elaborate on some recent results on a solution of the Hilbert-space problem in minisuperspace quantum cosmology and discuss the consequences of making the (geometry of the) Hilbert space of ordinary nonrelativistic quantum systems time-dependent. The latter reveals a remarkable similarity between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.
متن کاملQuantum Information and Space - Time Akio Hosoya
A pedestrian description of possible connection between quantum information theory and relativity theory is given. I picked up topics of synchronization by entanglement and causality of completely positive maps in special relativity, while the problems of information loss in the black hole evaporation and the possible quantum state at the space-like singularities are briefly touched upon in gen...
متن کاملNonlinear modification of quantum mechanics
In order to prevent “unavoidable” break-down of the “peaceful coexistence” between foundations of quantum theory and relativity I propose a new type of a quantum gauge theory (superrelativity). This differs from ordinary gauge theories in the sense that the affine connection of this theory is constructed from first derivatives of the Fubini-Study metric tensor in the projective Hilbert space of...
متن کاملProcess, Distinction, Groupoids and Clifford Algebras: an Alternative View of the Quantum Formalism
In this paper we start from a basic notion of process, which we structure into two groupoids, one orthogonal and one symplectic. By introducing additional structure, we convert these groupoids into orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebras respectively. We show how the orthogonal Clifford algebra, which include the Schrödinger, Pauli and Dirac formalisms, describe the classical light-cone str...

1124 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 45, NUMBER 9 I n the twentieth century, the quest for deeper understanding of the laws of nature has largely revolved around the development of two great theories: namely, general relativity and quantum mechanics. General relativity is, of course, Einstein’s theory according to which gravitation results from the curvature of space and time; the mathematical framew...
