Holographic position uncertainty and the quantum-classical transition

TL;DR

This paper explores how holographic principles imply a fundamental transverse position uncertainty that could influence the transition from quantum to classical behavior in macroscopic objects.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective on the quantum-classical boundary by linking holographic position uncertainty to macroscopic object behavior.

Findings

Holographic principles suggest a new transverse position uncertainty.

This uncertainty may set a threshold for quantum-classical transition.

Implications for understanding macroscopic quantum phenomena.

Abstract

Arguments based on general principles of quantum mechanics have suggested that a minimum length associated with Planck-scale unification may in the context of the holographic principle entail a new kind of observable uncertainty in the transverse position of macroscopically separated objects. Here, we address potential implications of such a position uncertainty for establishing an additional threshold between quantum and classical behavior.
