SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the development of a quantum version of Laplace's classical mechanical universe, as proposed by the author based on the thermal interpretation. This new theory integrates concepts from quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, and quantum information theory, while providing a deterministic framework for quantum systems. Key features include the absence of state collapse, a focus on quantum values for measurements, and compatibility with scientific realism. The author is preparing the paper for submission, seeking feedback on its novel aspects, particularly the thermal interpretation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Quantum Information Theory
  • Thermal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the implications of the thermal interpretation in quantum mechanics.
  • Study the role of N-point functions in quantum field theory.
  • Investigate objective collapse theories, such as GRW, and their experimental implications.
  • Research the connections between quantum mechanics and cosmology as discussed in the paper.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in quantum physics, theoretical physicists, and anyone interested in the intersection of classical and quantum mechanics, particularly those exploring new interpretations of quantum theory.

@selfsimilar Your concerns are somewhat vague. As a starting point: Do you accept that the above approach is consistent with the predictions of textbook QM?
I have already discussed this issue. While it does seem to be consistent but the explanation makes it borderline since it does not agree on what exactly is been measured which should be eigenvalues as in conventional theory. That is why I brought up more information about what the experiments say.

selfsimilar said:
Moreover, It is quite surprising that after 100 years of studying the subject in many sophisticated research institutes/universities, including Vienna (yours), the researches would be unsure that they are actually measuring eigenvalues with these sophisticated Lasers and what not. Are all these PHD students duping themselves.
edit: The caveat to above is that after reading about the experiments they don't seem to be straight forward as it seems although I don't have any real( or deep) experience with these techniques.

So in a sense because of the complicated nature of these measurements I give TI the benefit of the doubt until I understand these experiments better.
