Quantum Basis of Lorentz Symmetry

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel perspective linking quantum mechanics and special relativity, suggesting that the Lorentz group emerges as a symmetry of quantum preferred frame descriptions, unifying the two theories.

Contribution

It introduces a new approach where quantum mechanics and special relativity are integrated through the concept of a comparison scale and a preferred frame, challenging orthodox relativity.

Findings

Lorentz group as quantum symmetry

Relativity and quantum mechanics unified via preferred frame

Departure from orthodox relativity simplifies unification

Abstract

An unconventional outlook on relationship between the quantum mechanics and special relativity is proposed. We show that the two fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics of Planck and de Broglie combined with the idea of comparison scale (explained in the paper), are enough to introduce relativistic description. We argue that Lorentz group is the symmetry group of quantum, preferred frame description. We indicate that the departure from the orthodox relativity postulate allows us, in easy way, to make special relativity and quantum mechanics indivisible whole.
