Quantum dynamics and state-dependent affine gauge fields on CP(N-1)

Peter Leifer

Gauge fields frequently used as an independent construction additional to so-called wave fields of matter. This artificial separation is of course useful in some applications (like Berry's interactions between the "heavy" and "light" sub-systems) but it is restrictive on the fundamental level of "elementary" particles and entangled states. It is shown that the linear superposition of action states and non-linear dynamics of the local dynamical variables form an oscillons of energy representing non-local particles - "lumps" arising together with their "affine gauge potential" agrees with Fubini-Study metric. I use the conservation laws of local dynamical variables (LDV's) during affine parallel transport in complex projective Hilbert space $CP(N-1)$ for twofold aim. Firstly, I formulate the variation problem for the ``affine gauge potential" as system of partial differential equations \cite{Le1}. Their solutions provide embedding quantum dynamics into dynamical space-time whose state-dependent coordinates related to the qubit spinor subjected to Lorentz transformations of "quantum boosts" and "quantum rotations". Thereby, the problem of quantum measurement being reformulated as the comparison of LDV's during their affine parallel transport in $CP(N-1)$, is inherently connected with space-time emergences. Secondly, the important application of these fields is the completeness of quantum theory. The EPR and Schrödinger's Cat paradoxes are discussed from the point of view of the restored Lorentz invariance due to the affine parallel transport of local Hamiltonian of the soliton-like field.

Field Equations of the CP(N-1) Affine Gauge Theory

Peter Leifer, Lawrence Paul Horwitz

A non-linear relativistic 4D field model of a quantum particle which emerges from the internal dynamics in the quantum phase space $CP(N-1)$ is proposed. In this model there is no distinction between `particle' and its `surrounding field', and the space-time manifold emerges from the description of the quantum state. The quantum observables of the `quantum particle field' are described in terms of the affine parallel transport of the local dynamical variables in $CP(N-1)$.

String Condensation—An Unification of Light and Fermions

Xiao-Gang Wen

This book has three types of theories: boson, fermion, and gauge theories. It asks which theories describe the elementary particles in our universe. Surprisingly, elementary particles are described by the two more complicated and non-local theories: fermion theory and gauge theory. In the last chapter and in this chapter it is demonstrated that fermion and gauge theory are not really needed. Boson theory may be able to explain everything, since both fermion theory and gauge theory can emerge from local bosonic models (or qbit models), if bosons (qbits) are organized to have a string-net condensed order. This chapter studies soluble quantum spin models to explain string-net condensation. It finds that gauge bosons are simply collective excitations associated with string density wave (with the electric field corresponding to the string density). The fermons can appear as the ends of open strings. Thus the string-net order explains the emergence of gauge bosons and fermions. It unifies gauge interaction and Fermi statistics. The chapter shows that non-orientable strings give rise to Z_2 gauge theory while the orientable string give rise to U(1) gauge theory.
