Revisions of the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics Suggested by Properties of Random Walk
نویسنده
چکیده
A new theorem on random walks suggest some possible revisions of the foundations of Quantum Mechanics. This is presented below in the simplified framework of the description of the evolution of a material point in space. Grossly speaking, it is shown that the probabilities generated by normalizing the square modulus of a sum of probability amplitudes, in the setup of Quantum Mechanics, becomes asymptotically close (under the appropriate limiting conditions) to the probabilities generated by the usual causal processes of Classical Mechanics. This limiting coincidence has a series of interesting potential applications. In particular it allows us to reintroduce the concept of causality within the core of Quantum Mechanics. Moreover, it suggests, among other consequences, that gravitational interaction may not even exist. Even though the interpretations of Quantum Mechanics which follow from this mathematical result may seem to bring some unexpected innovations in the context of theoretical physics, there is an obvious necessity to study its theoretical impact on Quantum Mechanics. The first steps toward this aim are taken in the present article.

Structure-Activity Relationship of Imidazobenzodiazepines, an AM1 Semi-Empirical Quantum Mechanics Study
Conformations and electronic properties of a series of imidazobenzodiazepines are investigated by AM1 semi-empirical quantum mechanics method. It is shown that substitution of Cl in position 7 instead of 8, changes the geometry of the seven membered lactam ring; this may put the N5 nitrogen in a better positon to act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, and the phenyl ring in position 6 is probably...
متن کاملA survey on random walk-based stochastic modeling in eukaryotic cell migration with emphasis on its application in cancer
Impairments in cell migration processes may cause various diseases, among which cancer cell metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and the disability of immune cells to infiltrate into tumors are prominent ones. Mathematical modeling has been widely used to analyze the cell migration process. Cell migration is a complicated process and requires statistical methods such as random walk for proper analys...

متن کاملOptimal computation with non-unitary quantum walks
Quantum versions of random walks on the line and the cycle show a quadratic improvement over classical random walks in their spreading rates and mixing times respectively. Non-unitary quantum walks can provide a useful optimisation of these properties, producing a more uniform distribution on the line, and faster mixing times on the cycle. We investigate the interplay between quantum and random...
متن کاملA realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics. Asymmetric random walks in a discrete spacetime
In this paper, I propose a realistic interpretation (RI) of quantum mechanics, that is, an interpretation according to which a particle follows a definite path in spacetime. The path is not deterministic but it is rather a random walk. However, the probability of each step of the walk is found to depend from some average properties of the particle that can be interpreted as its propensity to ha...
