Weinberg’s nonlinear quantum mechanics and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox

Joseph Polchinski

Published Jan 1, 1991• 312 citations

Abstract

I show that Weinberg's nonlinear quantum mechanics leads either to communication via Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations, or to communications between branches of the wave function.Received 18 June 1990DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.66.397©1991 American Physical Society

Comments on: ``Weinberg's Nonlinear Quantum Mechanics and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox'', by Joseph Polchinski

Bogdan Mielnik

Contrary to the opinion of J. Polchinski [Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 66}, 397-400 (1991)], the phenomenon of superluminal messages in nonlinear versions of quantum mechanics is not a specific difficulty in a class of theories formulated by S. Weinberg [Ann.Phys. (N.Y.), {\bf 194}, 336-386 (1989)]. It appears in all schemes which try to enlarge the orthodox class of observables, while conserving the traditional structure of the pure and mixed states.
