The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Gerard 't Hooft
When investigating theories at the tiniest conceivable scales in nature, almost all researchers today revert to the quantum language, accepting the verdict from the Copenhagen doct…
The Fate of the Quantum
Gerard 't Hooft
Although the suspicion that quantum mechanics is emergent has been lingering for a long time, only now we begin to understand how a bridge between classical and quantum mechanics m…
Duality between a deterministic cellular automaton and a bosonic quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions
Gerard 't Hooft
Methods developed in a previous paper are employed to define an exact correspondence between the states of a deterministic cellular automaton in 1+1 dimensions and those of a boson…
Relating the quantum mechanics of discrete systems to standard canonical quantum mechanics
Gerard 't Hooft
Discrete quantum mechanics is here defined to be a quantum theory of wave functions defined on integers P_i and Q_i, while canonical quantum mechanics is assumed to be based on wav…
How a wave function can collapse without violating Schroedinger's equation, and how to understand Born's rule
Gerard 't Hooft
It is often claimed that the collapse of the wave function and Born's rule to interpret the square of the norm as a probability, have to be introduced as separate axioms in quantum…
Quantummechanical behaviour in a deterministic model
G. 't Hooft
A deterministic model with a large number of continuous and discrete degrees of freedom is described, and a statistical treatment is proposed. The model exactly obeys a Schrodinger…
