"Measurement" by neuronal tunneling: Implications of Born's rule
L. Polley
A non-collapse scenario for ``conscious'' selection of a term from a superposition was proposed in quant-ph/0309166: thermally assisted tunneling of neuronal pore molecules. But ``…
"Measurement" as a neurophysical process: a hypothetical linear and deterministic scenario
L. Polley
Tunnel amplitudes of molecular configurations (like neuronal channel pores) may be very sensitive to thermal vibrations of the barrier width (vibration-assisted tunneling) resultin…
Spin 1/2 as propagation on a lattice with symmetries modulo gauge transformations
L. Polley
Relativistic spin 1/2, as represented by Susskind's 1977 discretization of the Dirac equation on a spatial lattice, is shown to follow from basic, not typically relativistic but es…
Position eigenstates, symmetries, and the redundant hermiticity of free-particle Hamiltonians
L. Polley
The quantum state of a particle can be completely specified by a position at one instant of time. This implies a lack of information, hence a symmetry, as to where the particle wil…
Quantization via hopping amplitudes: Schroedinger equation and free QED
L. Polley
Schroedinger's equation with scalar and vector potentials is shown to describe "nothing but" hopping of a quantum particle on a lattice; any spatial variation of the hopping amplit…
Quantum-mechanical probability from the symmetries of two-state systems
L. Polley
In 1989, Deutsch gave a basic physical explanation of why quantum-mechanical probabilities are squares of amplitudes. Essentially, a general state vector is transformed into a high…
