The quantum laws of physics: a new description of dynamics and causality

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new deterministic framework for quantum mechanics using complex conditional probabilities, offering a more accurate depiction of dynamics and causality beyond classical phase space concepts.

Contribution

It introduces a fully deterministic, probability-based description of quantum phenomena that replaces classical notions of phase space and trajectories.

Findings

Complex conditional probabilities fully explain quantum relations.

Classical phase space concepts break down at quantum interaction scales.

The approach clarifies the role of dynamics in the emergence of reality.

Abstract

It is possible to completely explain all aspects of quantum mechanics by expressing the relations between physical properties in terms of complex conditional probabilities (Phys. Rev. A 89, 042115(2014)). These fully deterministic probabilities replace the classical notions of phase space geometries and continuous trajectories with a more accurate description that takes into account the role of dynamics in the emergence of reality. We can then understand why so many previous attempts to find a detailed explanation of quantum phenomena have failed: the assumption of a static reality breaks down when the interaction needed to obtain a real effect exceeds Planck`s constant. Beyond that limit, complex conditional probabilities are the only valid expression of the fundamental laws of physics.
