On a class of determinist models for emergent quantum mechanics
- Date:
Room: 204
Speaker: Ricardo Gallego Torrome
In this talk we discuss some models for emergent quantum mechanics in the line of ‘t Hooft’s approach. After the geometric and dynamical setting is introduced, the construction of a phenomenological wave function and the Hilbert space structure is made from the fundamental elements of the models. Then we show how a geometric picture of quantum non-locality could be accommodated in these models. We will discuss a purely analytical-geometric mechanism for a spontaneous reduction of the quantum state and how this mechanism obligates to consider gravity as a classical and emergent interaction. Moreover, as a consequence of the same mechanism, the weak equivalence principle must be exact.
