Nonlinear Quantum Mechanics at the Planck Scale

Abstract: Linearity of quantum mechanics is an emergent feature at the Planck scale, along with the manifold structure of space-time. In this regime the usual causality violation objections to nonlinearity do not apply, and nonlinear effects can be of comparable magnitude to the linear ones and still be highly suppressed at low energies. This can offer alternative approaches to quantum gravity and to the evolution of the early universe.

“…Advancing proposals-and-models [103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111] and other similar works, we conjecture one can formulate advantageous (0 + 1)-dimensional unitarily-evolving quantum many body systems from which both the local spacetime and geometric quantum matter emerge via 'state-history-driven self-organizations', by means of QMM-UEs (2.7,2.8;6.1;2.1).…”

“…Nonlinear quantum mechanics has been studied since the eighties [53] and several neural networks models and learning algorithms used nonlinear quantum computing [54,8,27,51], but the physical realizability of nonlinear quantum computing is still controversial [28,55]. A linear version of SAL needs investigation.…”

“…In other words, for non-relativistic microscopic processes down to the atomic level, i.e. at scales of order 10 −10 m (for smaller scales, see [28]), could the Schrödinger equation in particular and the QM formalism in general have a nonlinear mathematical structure?…”
