On the Foundations of Quantum Theory
by

Publisher: arXiv.org
Number of pages: 91

Description:
We draw systematic parallels between the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the information loss problem in black holes. Then we proceed to propose a solution of the former along the lines of the solution of the latter which is based on the holographic gauge/gravity duality.

Book cover: Quantum FluctuationsQuantum Fluctuations
by - Princeton University Press
This book deals with the kinematics of diffusion processes. The dynamical equations are derived from a variational principle, and interference, the asymptotics of free motion, bound states, statistics, and spin are described in classical terms.
