Can Schroedingerist Wavefunction Physics Explain Brownian Motion? III: A One-Dimensional Heavy and Light Particles Model Exhibiting Brownian-Motion-Like Trajectories and Diffusion

Leonardo De Carlo, W. David Wick

In two prior papers of this series, it was proposed that a wavefunction model of a heavy particle and a collection of light particles might generate ``Brownian-Motion-Like" traject…

Can Schrodingerist Wavefunction Physics Explain Brownian Motion? II. The Diffusion Coefficient

W. David Wick

In the first paper of this series, I investigated whether a wavefunction model of a heavy particle and a collection of light particles might generate "Brownian-Motion-Like" traject…

Can Schroedingerist Wavefunction Physics Explain Brownian Motion?

W. David Wick

Einstein's 1905 analysis of the Brownian Motion of a pollen grain in a water droplet as due to statistical variations in the collisions of water molecules with the grain, followed…

On Schrödingerist Quantum Thermodynamics

Leonardo De Carlo, W. David Wick

From the point of view of Schrödingerism, a wavefunction-only philosophy, thermodynamics must be recast in terms of an ensemble of wavefunctions, rather than classical particle con…

On Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics, Space-Time Wavefunctions, and Compatibility with General Relativity

W. David Wick

In previous papers I expounded non-linear Schrodingerist quantum mechanics as a solution of the Measurement Problem. Here I show that NLQM is compatible with Einstein's theory of G…

On Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem IV. Experimental Tests

W. David Wick

I discuss three proposed experiments that could in principle locate the boundary between the classical and quantum worlds, as well as distinguish the Hamiltonian theory presented i…

On Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem III. Poincare Probability and ... Chaos?

W. David Wick

Paper I of this series introduced a nonlinear version of quantum mechanics that blocks cats, and paper II postulated a random part of the wavefunction to explain outcomes in experi…

On Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem II. The Random Part of the Wavefunction

W. David Wick

In the first paper of this series, I introduced a non-linear, Hamiltonian, generalization of Schroedinger's theory that blocks formation of macroscopic dispersion ("cats"). But tha…

On Non-linear Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem I. Blocking Cats

W. David Wick

Working entirely within the Schroedinger paradigm, meaning wavefunction only, I present a modification of his theory that prevents formation of macroscopic dispersion (MD; "cats").…

Stopping the SuperSpreader Epidemic, Part III: Prediction

W. David Wick

In two previous papers, I introduced SuperSpreader (SS) epidemic models, offered some theoretical discussion of prevention issues, and fitted some models to data derived from publi…

Stopping the SuperSpreader Epidemic, Part II: MERS Goes Pandemic

W. David Wick

In a paper of August 2013, I discussed the so-called SuperSpreader (SS) epidemic model and emphasized that it has dynamics differing greatly from the more-familiar uniform (or Pois…

Stopping the SuperSpreader Epidemic: the lessons from SARS (with, perhaps, applications to MERS)

W. David Wick

I discuss the so-called SuperSpreader epidemic, for which SARS is the canonical examples (and, perhaps, MERS will be another). I use simulation by an agent-based model as well as t…
