Abstract

We introduce a framework for non-linear time evolution in quantum mechanics as a natural non-linear generalization of the Schrodinger equation. Within our framework, we derive simple toy models of dynamical geometry on finite graphs. Along similar lines we also propose a model of non-linear quantum field theory on spaces with state-dependent geometry.

Non-Linear Geometry Field Theory: Modeling Quantum Entanglement

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the application of non-linear geometry field theory to the modeling of quantum entanglement. We propose a novel framework wherein the fundamental basis of spacetime geometry is treated as a quantum state, allowing for a more precise description of entanglement's properties and potentially offering new theoretical foundations for quantum computation and quantum communication. The core mechanism involves introducing the concept of a "non-linear geometry," dynamically shaping spacetime through entanglement, and integrating this with classical geometry to achieve a deeper understanding of quantum entanglement. This work addresses the limitations of current approaches by directly modeling the quantum nature of spacetime, offering a potentially transformative perspective on these fundamental concepts.

Title: Non-Linear Quantum Field Theory with Wavefunction-Based Dynamics

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the development of a novel non-linear quantum field theory framework based on wavefunction-based dynamics. Traditional quantum field theory often struggles with the complexities of non-linear dynamics, limiting its ability to accurately model long-range correlations and predict behavior in complex systems. We propose a new method for representing field evolution using wavefunctions, incorporating key concepts from non-linear dynamics to address these challenges. This work aims to provide a mathematically rigorous approach to this crucial area of quantum field theory, offering a pathway toward improved modeling of phenomena exhibiting non-linearity. The core mechanism involves a refined representation of the field's evolution, incorporating dynamically adjusted wavefunctions to capture the inherent non-linearity. This necessitates a shift in perspective from static field equations to a dynamic, wavefunction-driven model. The resulting framework facilitates the analysis and prediction of long-range correlations, offering a significant advancement over existing techniques.

Deriving Quantum Mechanics from First Principles: The Schrödinger Equation as an Emergent Approximation of Non-Linear Spiral Geometry

Martin, Doina

We present a derivation of the Schrödinger equation from a more fundamental framework based onnon-linear spiral geometry and computational principles. Our approach shows that standard quan-tum mechanics emerges as a linear approximation to a deeper, non-unitary, and time-asymmetricgeometric computation. The framework naturally incorporates the origin of complex numbers inquantum mechanics, explains the quantum-classical transition through an intrinsic amplitude bound-ary κ ≈ 0.5599, and provides a geometric basis for wavefunction collapse and the arrow of time. Wedemonstrate how the π-operator spatial quantization, golden ratio φ optimization, and exponen-tial growth primitive combine to yield both the reversible Schrödinger equation and its necessarygeneralization to include fundamental time asymmetry.

Nonlinear Riccati equations as a unifying link between linear quantum mechanics and other fields of physics

Dieter Schuch

Theoretical physics seems to be in a kind of schizophrenic state. Many phenomena in the observable macroscopic world obey nonlinear evolution equations, whereas the microscopic world is governed by quantum mechanics, a fundamental theory that is supposedly linear. In order to combine these two worlds in a common formalism, at least one of them must sacrifice one of its dogmas. I claim that linearity in quantum mechanics is not as essential as it apparently seems since quantum mechanics can be reformulated in terms of nonlinear Riccati equations. In a first step, it will be shown where complex Riccati equations appear in time-dependent quantum mechanics and how they can be treated and compared with similar space-dependent Riccati equations in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the time-independent Schrödinger equation can also be rewritten as a complex Riccati equation. Finally, it will be shown that (real and complex) Riccati equations also appear in many other fields of physics, like statistical thermodynamics and cosmology.
