Superdeterminism Without Conspiracy
Tim Palmer
Superdeterminism - where the Measurement Independence assumption in Bell's Theorem is violated - is frequently assumed to imply implausibly conspiratorial correlations between prop…
Quantum Computers for Weather and Climate Prediction: The Good, the Bad and the Noisy
Felix Tennie, Tim Palmer
Over the past few years, quantum computers and quantum algorithms have attracted considerable interest and attention from numerous scientific disciplines. In this article, we aim t…
Quantum Physics from Number Theory
Tim Palmer
The properties which give quantum mechanics its unique character - unitarity, complementarity, non-commutativity, uncertainty, nonlocality - derive from the algebraic structure of…
Properties of Invariant Set Theory
J. R. Hance, S. Hossenfelder, T. N. Palmer
In a recent paper (arXiv:2107.04761), Sen critiques a superdeterministic model of quantum physics, Invariant Set Theory, proposed by one of the authors. He concludes that superdete…
Supermeasured: Violating Bell-Statistical Independence without violating physical statistical independence
Jonte R. Hance, Sabine Hossenfelder, Tim N. Palmer
Bell's theorem is often said to imply that quantum mechanics violates local causality, and that local causality cannot be restored with a hidden-variables theory. This however is o…
Quantum algorithm for nonlinear differential equations
Seth Lloyd, Giacomo De Palma, Can Gokler +5
Quantum computers are known to provide an exponential advantage over classical computers for the solution of linear differential equations in high-dimensional spaces. Here, we pres…
Discretisation of the Bloch Sphere, Fractal Invariant Sets and Bell's Theorem
T. N. Palmer
An arbitrarily dense discretisation of the Bloch sphere of complex Hilbert states is constructed, where points correspond to bit strings of fixed finite length. Number-theoretic pr…
A Gravitational Theory of the Quantum
T. N. Palmer
The synthesis of quantum and gravitational physics is sought through a finite, realistic, locally causal theory where gravity plays a vital role not only during decoherent measurem…
-adic Distance, Finite Precision and Emergent Superdeterminism: A Number-Theoretic Consistent-Histories Approach to Local Quantum Realism
T. N. Palmer
Although the notion of superdeterminism can, in principle, account for the violation of the Bell inequalities, this potential explanation has been roundly rejected by the quantum f…
Lorenz, Gödel and Penrose: New perspectives on determinism and causality in fundamental physics
T. N. Palmer
Despite being known for his pioneering work on chaotic unpredictability, the key discovery at the core of meteorologist Ed Lorenz's work is the link between space-time calculus and…
The Invariant Set Postulate: A New Geometric Framework for the Foundations of Quantum Theory and the Role Played by Gravity
T. N. Palmer
A new law of physics is proposed, defined on the cosmological scale but with significant implications for the microscale. Motivated by nonlinear dynamical systems theory and black-…
A Local Deterministic Model of Quantum Spin Measurement
T. N. Palmer
The conventional view, that Einstein was wrong to believe that quantum physics is local and deterministic, is challenged. A parametrised model, Q, for the state vector evolution of…
