A gravitational theory of quantum mechanics [PDF]
An explanation for quantum mechanics is given in terms of a classical theory (general relativity) for the first time. Specifically, it is shown that certain structures in classical general relativity can give rise to the non-classical logic normally ...

Smooth Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2008 I show that the contradiction between the unitary evolution and the condition to obtain, as a result of the measurement, an eigenstate of the observable, can be resolved without making use of discontinuities.

Reconciling Spacetime and the Quantum: Relational Blockworld and the Quantum Liar Paradox [PDF]
, 2007 The Relational Blockworld (RBW) interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics (NRQM) is introduced. Accordingly, the spacetime of NRQM is a relational, nonseparable blockworld whereby spatial distance is only defined between interacting ...

Time, Quantum Mechanics, and Probability [PDF]
, 1997 The Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics has repeatedly been criticized on the grounds that probabilty makes no sense on its terms. These criticisms are considered in detail, and found to be wanting.

Understanding quantum mechanics: a review and synthesis in precise language
Open Physics, 2019 This review, of the understanding of quantum mechanics, is broad in scope, and aims to reflect enough of the literature to be representative of the current state of the subject.

Research-based interactive simulations to support quantum mechanics learning and teaching [PDF]
, 2015 Quantum mechanics holds a fascination for many students, but its mathematical complexity can present a major barrier. Traditional approaches to introductory quantum mechanics have been found to decrease student interest.

On the statistical mechanics of an adiabatic ensemble
Condensed Matter Physics, 2004 Different descriptions of an adiabatic process based on statistical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics are discussed. Equality of the so-called adiabatic and isolated susceptibilities and its generalization as well as adiabatic invariants are ...

On the Consistency of the Consistent Histories Approach to Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2013 The Consistent Histories (CH) formalism aims at a quantum mechanical framework for the universe as a whole. CH stresses the importance of histories for quantum mechanics, as opposed to measurements, and maintains that a satisfactory formulation of ...

Probability in modal interpretations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 Modal interpretations have the ambition to construe quantum mechanics as an objective, man-independent description of physical reality. Their second leading idea is probabilism: quantum mechanics does not completely fix physical reality but yields ...

The Integral Decimation Method for Quantum Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
QuantumThe solutions to many problems in the mathematical, computational, and physical sciences often involve multidimensional integrals. A direct numerical evaluation of the integral incurs a computational cost that is exponential in the number of dimensions ...
