Quantum Theory as an Emergent Phenomenon :The Statistical Mechanics of Matrix Models as the Precursor of Quantum Field Theory.
Adler, Stephen L.

Quantum Theory as an Emergent Phenomenon :The Statistical Mechanics of Matrix Models as the Precursor of Quantum Field Theory.[electronic resource]. - Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2004. - 239 p.

Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction and overview; 1 Trace dynamics: the classical Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics of matrix models; 2 Additional generic conserved quantities; 3 Trace dynamics models with global supersymmetry*; 4 Statistical mechanics of matrix models; 5 The emergence of quantum field dynamics; 6 Brownian motion corrections to Schrodinger dynamics and the emergence of the probability interpretation; 7 Discussion and outlook; Appendices; References; Index

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory but raises conceptual issues that perplex physicists and philosophers of science. This book develops an approach, based on the proposal that quantum theory is not a complete, final theory, but in fact an emergent phenomenon arising from a deeper level of dynamics.
