Need for "special" states in a deterministic theory of quantum mechanics
L. S. Schulman
There are several theories or processes which may underlie quantum mechanics and make it deterministic. Some references are given in the main text. Any such theory, plus a number o…
Transition matrix from a random walk
Lawrence S. Schulman
Given a random walk a method is presented to produce a matrix of transition probabilities that is consistent with that random walk. The method is a kind of reverse application of t…
Relative entropy, interaction energy and the nature of dissipation
B. Gaveau, L. Granger, M. Moreau +1
Many thermodynamic relations involve inequalities, with equality if a process does not involve dissipation. In this article we provide equalities in which the dissipative contribut…
Is ergodicity a reasonable hypothesis?
Bernard Gaveau, Lawrence S. Schulman
In the physics literature "ergodicity" is taken to mean that a system, including a macroscopic one, visits all microscopic states in a relatively short time. We show that this is a…
Experimental test of the "special state" theory of quantum measurement
L. S. Schulman
An experimental test of the "special state" theory of quantum measurement is proposed. It should be feasible with present-day laboratory equipment and involves a slightly elaborate…
Dissipation, interaction and relative entropy
B. Gaveau, L. Granger, M. Moreau +1
Many thermodynamic relations involve inequalities, with equality if a process does not involve dissipation. In this article we provide equalities in which the dissipative contribut…
