QM through stochastic optimization on spacetimes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the paper titled "QM through stochastic optimization on spacetimes," which attempts to derive an equation to replace the Schrödinger equation within the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics. Participants unanimously agree that the paper lacks substantial contributions to the foundational understanding of quantum mechanics and fails to address critical issues in the field. The consensus is that the paper does not warrant further reading and will not significantly impact ongoing discussions in the subforum.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with relativistic quantum mechanics concepts
  • Knowledge of stochastic optimization techniques

  • Explore the foundations of relativistic quantum mechanics
  • Study stochastic optimization methods in physics
  • Investigate unresolved issues in quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students interested in quantum mechanics, particularly those examining the intersections of stochastic processes and relativistic theories.

TL;DR
This is an attempt to explain QM on basic principles:

As students, Jussi Lindgren and Jukka Liukkonen had found one element of their quantum mechanics lectures unsatisfying. "When we were taught physics, there were some fundamental elements you were told were true, and you had to accept they were true without it being shown why," said Jussi Lindgren, "and I didn't really like this".
I have a simple question as a layman in the field:
Is this worth reading, and even more, is it a contribution to possibly shorten the endless discussions in this subforum?

In my opinion, not worth reading.

It somehow derives some equation which would have to replace the Schrödinger equation in the relativistic equation which imho does not make sense.

Neither. The paper explains how some elementary ingredients to the relativistic quantum mechanics of a single particle can be understood. It is very far from giving complete foundations of quantum mechanics.

It leaves most of the difficult issues untouched, and is unlikely to have any effect on the discussions here.
