About this product
Description
- DescriptionQuantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. However, it raises conceptual issues that have perplexed physicists and philosophers of science for decades. This 2004 book develops an approach, based on the proposal that quantum theory is t a complete, final theory, but is in fact an emergent phemen arising from a deeper level of dynamics. The dynamics at this deeper level are taken to be an extension of classical dynamics to n-commuting matrix variables, with cyclic permutation inside a trace used as the basic calculational tool. With plausible assumptions, quantum theory is shown to emerge as the statistical thermodynamics of this underlying theory, with the canical commutation/anticommutation relations derived from a generalized equipartition theorem. Brownian motion corrections to this thermodynamics are argued to lead to state vector reduction and to the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, making contact with phemelogical proposals for stochastic modifications to Schrodinger dynamics.
