🧵 Breakthrough in quantum mechanics

Anonymous No. 16500204

This new framework gets rid of the measurement problem and of the collapse of the wave function. Even more remarkable, the framework takes in classical configuration space and outputs classical probabilities (no more probability amplitudes). Even the QM magic like coherence, interference, etc. is gone as it becomes an artifact of having used the wrong language to describe quantum processes.

I hope the people in /mg/ general can chime in and propose a curriculum path (prerequisites) for getting up to date with this theory. The topic is indivisible non-markovian stochastic processes.

"
Its also interesting to note that the recent explicitly non-Markovian stochastic formulation of quantum theory by Barandes (subject of a post some time ago) explains non-local entanglement through the ability of the non-Markovian transition matrix to remember correlations from local interactions in the past (and implying that a Markovian counterpart could not do this). This explanation actually seems quite reminiscent of the idea that a phase shift is set at source and maintained or remembered over time until measured / decohered.

It doesn’t produce new results as far as I know and it’s mathematically equivalent to wave mechanics, it’s kind of a mapping from a coherent/self-consistent QM formulation to wave mechanics as normally taught and used. The innovative thing about it is it merges classical and quantum mechanics in very “natural” ways. You end up working with classical probabilities (ie. a real number between 0 and 1) and it does so while avoiding the QM voodoo like muh dead and alive cat, wave function collapse and other black magic. This is not to say the common way of doing QM is bad, it’s probably easier to work with wave mechanics, but when needed, one can map back to this new way of formulating QM and vice versa. This is what I got from the video.

this is not barandes theory. it is a clisely related theory called nelsonian stochastic mechanics that has been around since 1966 but is not very well known at all.

they are basically two different perspectives on the same stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics. barandes has taken a kinda sleeker shortcut route which is more general

the Nelsonian route is significantly more involved, complicated but also more fully formed abd fitted to regular qm. Nelsonian simulations exist also of double slit, stern gerlach and bell violations. one problem with Nelsonian one is it makes a Markov assumption which is probably an artificial assumption thaf isnt true, albeit it still reproduces all predictions of qm. barandes' formulation is explicitly non-Markovian.

I doubt it. maybe it would give interesting insights in some areas but generally no. If you look at Barandes perspective, it suggests that the conventional quantum formalism is explicitly a way of making the description of the underlying stochastic system easier.

The underlying stochastic system has a property of indivisibity which makes it impossible to construct certain kinds of probabilities out of other kinds with regard to composing and decomposing trajectories a system takes in space.

When you convert the stochast8c syste. into the conventional quantum formalism and replace probabilities with amplitudes, the amplitudes are divisible, which allows you to do the construction process with amplitudes that you could not possibly do with the underlying probabilities.

So there is very good reason for conventional quantum mechanics to be the preferable formalism in general

In that view the photons or whatever would interact with the measuring device at the slits which would cause the measuring device to evolve stochastically to one outcome. But that interaction also kills off the interference effects like decoherence.
And because the system has a classical configuration we don't need to collapse after a measurement. The system was in a definite state all along.

for a system to have a memory but the memory is not related to a physical process isn't that just to say that the system evolves for example in the double slit experiment just because it does while offering no physical explanation? it's a correlation with no underlying process, it just happened to correlate in a way mimicking interference, seems like a non-explanation

i actually agree with this. barandes offers no mechanism of how to get indivisibility

>>16504652
its true that he presents the indivisible system as a generalization of other stochastic systems. and this may infact be true. he then says in a recent video interview that perhaps the generality of these systems is why quantum mechanics behaves this way... maybe it makes sense that fundamental physics starts with the most generalized systems (i think ultimately he is agnostic and this is just a loose speculation on his part rather than like an official part of his theory)

i am not convinced of this that it makes sense for physics to start off like this. and i think many different things can be construed as being general without necessarily being foundational or fundamental. a generalization of something just means it can reproduce the behavior of that thing in addition to other stuff. i see no reason for that kind of thing to be foundational.

barandes distances himself from another complete formulation of quantum mechanics as a stochastic system (the fact that multiple formulations of quantum mechanics now exist that interpret it in exactly the same way should ring alarm bells imo). this actually gives a much more specific mechanism for how quantum mechanics arises....

particles are interacting with a background field in a way which conserves energy. you can compare it to a dust particle sitting in a glass of water. it moves randomly because it interacts with the water molecules. but this brownian process is dissipative and energy isnt conserved on average in the interactions. dust particle energy leaks away into the water glass due to friction.

in the quantum version, the system is non-dissipative so energy doesnt leak out and is constantly returned to the particle it is conserved on average.

what is interesting is that there are classical models that loosely replicate this phenomena. things called "hydrodynamic pilot-wave models", a leading author being i think he is called john bush.

oil droplets surf an oil bath by bouncing on it, exchanging energy to cause its motion like the dust does with the glass of water. the oil bath is dissipative like the water but if you vibrate the bath in a way that counteracts dissipation, the droplet starts showing weird effects that look like quantum behavior and seemingly non-local behavior. very similar to the mechanism proposed in the other stochastic mechanics formulation.

what is happening in the hydrodynamic fluid bath model is that by countering dissipation, waves or ripples caused by events that interact with the bath are remembered and resonate throughout the whole bath. if you change the environment (like a slit or pillar), it affects the bath because the bath molecules are obviously bouncing off it while the droplets are also adding information into the bath by bouncing on it. all this information is remembered in the bath and subsequently affects the behavior of the particle bouncing on it. if you change the slit or pillar then it changes what is going on in the bath so the particle acts differently evem if it is distant from that slit.

the authors explicitly identify this mechanism as non-markovian due to the memory reasons... like the Barandes model.The Barandes non-markovianity and the energy conservation mechanism of the other formulation seem to coincide in these hydrodynamic bath models. obviously these bath models are very very different to stochastic models of quantun mechanics but they seem to be showing these very very basic mechanisms. obviously it doesnt prove anything. it could be way off. but its an interesting coincidence these baths produce quantum-like behavior by superficially similar mechanisms.

Anonymous No. 16504879

>>16504652

obviously this means quantum particles would be sitting in a background field which has energy that interacts with the particle...

but this doesnt seem so farfetched because quantum field theory tells us there is energy in empty space and vacuum fluctuations. if im not wrong there have even been recent experiments where they measyre how vacuum fluctuations disturb the movement of large macroscopic objects like mirrors.

so even without specifying what is going on, it doesnt seem something that is incompatible or outrageous compared to what we already know in quantum field theory. things like aharanov-bohm affect too, casimir affect.

the fact that the trajectories of particles in stochastic mechanics actually do show up in conventional quantum mechanics in the path integral formulation is also another argument imo. its an interesting coincidence.
