Canonical Typicality
Sheldon Goldstein, Joel L. Lebowitz, Roderich Tumulka +1
It is well known that a system, S, weakly coupled to a heat bath, B, is described by the canonical ensemble when the composite, S+B, is described by the microcanonical ensemble cor…
Smoothness of Wave Functions in Thermal Equilibrium
Roderich Tumulka, Nino Zanghi
We consider the thermal equilibrium distribution at inverse temperature , or canonical ensemble, of the wave function of a quantum system. Since spaces contain more no…
On Superselection Rules in Bohm-Bell Theories
Samuel Colin, Thomas Durt, Roderich Tumulka
The meaning of superselection rules in Bohm-Bell theories (i.e., quantum theories with particle trajectories) is different from that in orthodox quantum theory. More precisely, the…
The Analogue of Bohm-Bell Processes on a Graph
Roderich Tumulka
Bohm-Bell processes, of interest in the foundations of quantum field theory, form a class of Markov processes generalizing in a natural way both Bohm's dynamical system in co…
On Spontaneous Wave Function Collapse and Quantum Field Theory
Roderich Tumulka
One way of obtaining a version of quantum mechanics without observers, and thus of solving the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, is to modify the Schroedinger evolution by implementi…
Quantum Mechanics in Multiply-Connected Spaces
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, James Taylor +2
We explain why, in a configuration space that is multiply connected, i.e., whose fundamental group is nontrivial, there are several quantum theories, corresponding to different cho…
