Nonlinear Quantum Mechanics at the Planck Scale
arXiv:quant-ph/0410230 · doi:10.1007/s10773-005-8983-1
Abstract
I argue that the linearity of quantum mechanics is an emergent feature at the Planck scale, along with the manifold structure of space-time. In this regime the usual causality violation objections to nonlinearity do not apply, and nonlinear effects can be of comparable magnitude to the linear ones and still be highly suppressed at low energies. This can offer alternative approaches to quantum gravity and to the evolution of the early universe.
