To the nonlinear quantum mechanics

Abstract

The Schroedinger equation with the nonlinear term is derived by the natural generalization of the hydrodynamical model of quantum mechanics. The nonlinear term appears to be logically necessary because it enables explanation of the classical limit of the wave function, the collaps of the wave function and solves the Schroedinger cat paradox.

The Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation with Infinite Mass Wave

Miroslav Pardy

The Schroedinger equation with the logarithmic nonlinear term is derived by the natural generalization of the hydrodynamical model of quantum mechanics. The nonlinear term appears to be logically necessary because it enables explanation of the infinite mass limit of the wave function. The article is the modified version of the articles by author (Pardy, 1993; 2001).

The Schrodinger equation with the logarithmic nonlinear term is derived by the natural generalization of the hydrodynamical model of quantum mechanics. The nonlinear term appears to be logically necessary because it enables explanation of the classical motion for the infinite mass limit. The article is the modified version of the articles by author (Pardy, 1993; 2001).

A subluminous Schroedinger equation

Philip Rosenau, Z. Schuss

The standard derivation of Schroedinger's equation from a Lorentz-invariant Feynman path integral consists in taking first the limit of infinite speed of light and then the limit of short time slice. In this order of limits the light cone of the path integral disappears, giving rise to an instantaneous spread of the wave function to the entire space. We ascribe the failure of Schroedinger's equation to retain the light cone of the path integral to the very nature of the limiting process: it is a regular expansion of a singular approximation problem, because the boundary conditions of the path integral on the light cone are lost in this limit. We propose a distinguished limit, which produces an intermediate model between non-relativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics: it produces Schroedinger's equation and preserves the zero boundary conditions on and outside the original light cone of the path integral. These boundary conditions relieve the Schroedinger equation of several annoying, seemingly unrelated unphysical artifacts, including non-analytic wave functions, spontaneous appearance of discontinuities, non-existence of moments when the initial wave function has a jump discontinuity (e.g., a collapsed wave function after a measurement), the EPR paradox, and so on. The practical implications of the present formulation are yet to be seen.

Schroedinger's Cat is not Alone

Beatriz Gato-rivera A, Beatriz Gato-rivera A

We introduce the `Complete Wave Function' and deduce that all living beings, not just Schroedinger's cat, are actually described by a superposition of `alive' and `dead' quantum states; otherwise they would never die. Therefore this proposal provides a quantum mechanical explanation to the world-wide observation that we all pass away. Next we consider the Measurement problem in the framework of M-theory. For this purpose, together with Schroedinger's cat we also place inside the box Rasputin's cat, which is unaffected by poison. We analyse the system identifying its excitations (catons and catinos) and we discuss its evolution: either to a classical fight or to a quantum entanglement. We also propose the $BSVΨ$ scenario, which implements the Complete Wave Function as well as the Big Bang and the String Landscape in a very (super)natural way. Then we test the gravitational decoherence of the entangled system applying an experimental setting due to Galileo. We also discuss the Information Loss paradox. For this purpose we consider a massless black cat falling inside a massive black hole. After that we outline a method to compute the contribution of black cats to the dark matter of the universe. Finally, in the spirit of Schroedinger, we propose that next generation double-slit experiments should use cats as projectiles. Cat interferometry will inevitably lead to the `Many Cats' interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, allowing to shed new light on old mysteries and paradoxes. For example, according to this interpretation, conservative estimates show that decision making of a single domestic cat will create about 550 billion whole universes every day, with as many replicas of itself.

Remarks on the Schrodinger equation

Robert Carroll

Various origins of linear and nonlinear Schrodinger equations are discussed in connection with diffusion, hydrodynamics, and fractal structure. The treatment is mainly expository, emphasizing the quantum potential, with a few new observations.
