Emergent Quantum Mechanics

This paper addresses the long-standing question of how it may be explained that the three charged leptons (the electron, muon and tau particle) have different masses, despite their conformity in other respects. In the field of Emergent Quantum Mechanics non-singular electron models are being revisited, and from this exploration has come a possible answer. In this paper a deformable droplet model is considered. It is shown how the model can be made self-consistent, whilst obeying the laws of momentum and energy conservation as well as Larmor’s radiation law. The droplet appears to have three different static equilibrium configurations, each with a different mass. Tentatively, these three equilibrium masses were assumed to correspond with the measured masses of the charged leptons. The droplet model was tuned accordingly, and was thereby completely quantified. The dynamics of the droplet then showed a “De Broglie-like” relation p = K / λ . Beat patterns in the vibrations of the droplet play the role of the matter waves of usual quantum mechanics. The value of K , calculated by the droplet theory, practically equals Planck’s constant: K ≅ h . This fact seems to confirm the correctness of identifying the three types of charged leptons with the equilibria of a droplet of charge.

Emergent Quantum Mechanics

We obtain Schrödinger quantum mechanics from Perelman's functional and from the Ricci-flow equations of a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a closed two-dimensional configuration space. We explore links with the recently discussed emergent quantum mechanics.

We argue that in a framework for emergent quantum mechanics, the weak equivalence principle is a consequence of concentration of measure in large-dimensional spaces of [Formula: see text]-Lipshitz functions. Furthermore, as a consequence of the emergent framework and the properties that we assume for the fundamental dynamics, it is argued that gravity must be a classical, emergent interaction.

Emergent Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics emerges à la Verlinde from a foliation of ℝ3 by holographic screens, when regarding the latter as entropy reservoirs that a particle can exchange entropy with. This entropy is quantized in units of Boltzmann's constant kB. The holographic screens can be treated thermodynamically as stretched membranes. On that side of a holographic screen where spacetime has already emerged, the energy representation of thermodynamics gives rise to the usual quantum mechanics. A knowledge of the different surface densities of entropy flow across all screens is equivalent to a knowledge of the quantum-mechanical wavefunction on ℝ3. The entropy representation of thermodynamics, as applied to a screen, can be used to describe quantum mechanics in the absence of spacetime, that is, quantum mechanics beyond a holographic screen, where spacetime has not yet emerged. Our approach can be regarded as a formal derivation of Planck's constant ℏ from Boltzmann's constant kB.
