The irreversible quantum
P. Fernandez de Cordoba, J. M. Isidro, Milton H. Perea +1
We elaborate on the existing notion that quantum mechanics is an emergent phenomenon, by presenting a thermodynamical theory that is dual to quantum mechanics. This dual theory is…

Emergent quantum mechanics as a thermal ensemble
P. Fernandez de Cordoba, J. M. Isidro, Milton H. Perea
It has been argued that gravity acts dissipatively on quantum-mechanical systems, inducing thermal fluctuations that become indistinguishable from quantum fluctuations. This has le…

Emergence from irreversibility
P. Fernandez de Cordoba, J. M. Isidro, Milton H. Perea
The emergent nature of quantum mechanics is shown to follow from a precise correspondence with the classical theory of irreversible thermodynamics.
