Arrow of Time and Quantum Physics

Based on the hypothesis that the (non-reversible) arrow of time is intrinsic in any system, no matter how small, the consequences are discussed. Within the framework of local quantum physics it is ... these become part of the past and therefore facts in the above sense. Local quantum physics [ 21 ] allows one to make statistical predictions for future measuring results. It is even more important in

Social science goes quantum: explaining human decision-making, cognitive biases and Darwinian selection from a quantum perspective

In quantum field theory and particle physics theory, the use of group representation theory is crucial [ 19, 20 ]. Sections 2 and 3 give some background. In Sects. 4 and 5 I introduce

Towards a bound on the Higgs mass in causal set quantum gravity

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the mass of the Higgs particle can be linked to the scale at which the Standard Model breaks down due to a Landau pole/triviality problem: for a Higgs mass ... physics occurs roughly at the nonlocality scale. Our results call into question, whether a separation between the nonlocality scale and the discreteness scale, which is postulated within causal set quantum

An Attempt to Understand Relational Quantum Mechanics

We search for a possible mathematical formulation of some of the key ideas of the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics and study their consequences. We also briefly overview some proposals ... quantum physics. It remains to be seen if such reconstructions could be extended to reconstruct full quantum mechanics, and thus support a systematic interpretation of the whole quantum mechanics. Here we
