On Non-linear Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem I. Blocking Cats | | W. David Wick
; | | Date: |
9 Oct 2017 | | Abstract: | Working entirely within the Schroedinger paradigm, meaning wavefunction only,
I present a modification of his theory that prevents formation of macroscopic
dispersion (MD; "cats"). The proposal is to modify the Hamiltonian based on a
method introduced by Steven Weinberg in 1989, as part of a program to test
quantum mechanics at the atomic or nuclear level. By contrast, the intent here
is to eliminate MD without affecting the predictions of quantum mechanics at
the microscopic scale. This restores classical physics at the macro level.
Possible experimental tests are indicated and the differences from previous
theories discussed. In a second paper, I will address the other difficulty of
wavefunction physics without the statistical (Copenhagen) interpretation: how
to explain random outcomes in experiments such as Stern-Gerlach, and whether a
Schroedingerist theory with a random component can violate Bell’s inequality. | | Source: | arXiv, 1710.3278 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
