Abstract

A differential-geometric formulation of quantum mechanics and the continuity of quantum phase space are used to diagnose how the state of an open quantum system results from its correlations with a structured environment.

Quantum Mechanics from Coherence Geometry

Borros Arneth

Quantum mechanics is traditionally formulated in terms of complex Hilbert spaces, wavefunctions, and linear evolution equations. While extraordinarily successful, this framework leaves open several conceptual questions concerning the geometric origin of the wavefunction, the meaning of quantum phase, and the status of Hilbert space as a fundamental structure. In this work, we investigate a coherence-geometric reformulation in which the fundamental object is a coherence coordinate , where represents radial coherence and represents phase coherence associated with geometric transport. We show that the standard structures of quantum mechanics admit a natural interpretation within a differential-geometric framework. The wavefunction emerges from coherence coordinates, probability density is generated by radial coherence, probability flow is generated by phase coherence, and Hilbert spaces appear as spaces of square-integrable functions defined on a coherence manifold. The resulting formulation provides a unified geometric language connecting quantum mechanics, geometric phases, fiber bundles, holonomies, gauge theory, and differential geometry

Quantum Mechanics from Coherence Geometry Reconstruction of Schrödinger Dynamics from a Coherence Manifold

Borros Arneth

Quantum mechanics is conventionally formulated in terms of complex Hilbert spaces, linear operators, and the Schrödinger equation. Although geometric structures play an increasingly important role in modern formulations of quantum theory, the wavefunction itself is generally regarded as a fundamental object. In this work, we investigate an alternative formulation in which the fundamental object is a coherence coordinate , where Omega represents radial coherence and Theta represents phase coherence associated with geometric transport. Starting from three assumptions—a coherence coordinate, a probability density generated by radial coherence, and a geometric Hamiltonian—we reconstruct the continuity equation, the quantum Hamilton–Jacobi equation, and ultimately the Schrödinger equation. Within this framework, the wavefunction appears as a derived quantity, while Hilbert spaces emerge naturally as spaces of square-integrable functions on a coherence manifold. The resulting construction establishes a differential-geometric representation of quantum mechanics and provides a common geometric language connecting quantum states, probability flow, geometric phases, holonomies, and gauge transport.

Differential Geometry of Quantum Theory Toward an Emergent Hilbert-Space Formulation on a Coherence Manifold

Borros Arneth

Quantum mechanics is traditionally formulated on complex Hilbert spaces, whereas gauge theories are formulated on fiber bundles equipped with connections and curvature. Despite the central role of geometry in modern physics, the Hilbert-space structure of quantum theory is usually postulated rather than derived. In this work, we investigate a differential-geometric formulation in which quantum states are represented as points on a coherence manifold characterized by a radial coherence coordinate and a holonomy-induced phase coordinate. The resulting geometry naturally admits the structure of a fiber bundle whose base space is associated with a coherence lattice and whose fiber corresponds to a phase circle. Within this framework, Hilbert spaces emerge as function spaces defined on the coherence manifold, while Schrödinger dynamics arise from the Laplace–Beltrami operator associated with the underlying geometry. The construction unifies concepts from geometric quantum mechanics, fiber-bundle gauge theory, holonomy, and coherence geometry within a common differential-geometric framework.
