Positive probabilities and the principle of equivalence for spin-zero particles in the causal stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics

Положительные вероятности и принцип эквивалентности для частиц с нулевым спином в причинной стохастической интерпретации квантовой механики

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The effect of gravity on spin-0 particles is discussed in the context of the causal stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics (SIQM). It is shown through the use of the quantum potential that, for positive probabilities which result from SIQM, the weak principle of equivalence breaks down. The theory nevertheless remains compatible with the geometrical character of quantum gravity.

Riassunto

Si discute ’effetto della gravità sulle particelle con spin 0 nel contesto dell’interpretazione causale stocastica della meccanica quantistica (SIQM). Si mostra attraverso l’uso del potenziale quantistico che per probabilità positive che risultano da SIQM il principio di equivalenza debole è violato. La teoria ciò nondimeno resta compatibile con il carattere geometrico della gravità quantistica.

Резюме

Обсуждается влияние гравитации на частицы с нулевым спином в связи с причинной стохастической интерпретацией квантовой механики. Используя кванговый потенциал, показывается, что для положительных вероятностей, которые являются следствием стохастической интерпретации квантовой механики, слабый принцип эквивалентности нарушается. Тем не менее, теория остается совместимой с геометрическим характером квантовой гравитации.
