The covariant phase space (CPS) formalism provides a geometric framework to derive equations of motion and endow the space of solutions with a symplectic structure. This variational approach additionally provides Noether charges and plays a central role in modern gravitational physics and gauge theories. Despite its conceptual elegance, explicit computations in physically relevant models...

Quantum systems that interact non-locally with an environment are paradigms for exploring collective phenomena. They naturally emerge in various physical contexts involving long-range,vmany-body interactions. We consider a general class of such open systems characterized by a coupling to the environment which is inversely proportional to the square root of the environmentvsize. We demonstrate...

This paper proposes a conceptual framework to bridge the gap between classical and quantum mechanics using an emergent paradigm that positions general relativity into a probabilistic context. Starting from an analogy between Einstein equations and Bayes law, the linear case of a weak field static symmetric massive object is analyzed to point out how Einstein’s equation could incorporate a...

In this study, we propose a unified theoretical framework for objective wavefunction collapse by situating non-linear quantum dynamics within a time-symmetric manifold. Utilizing the Highly Simplified Correlated Variational Approach (HSCVA), we map the t-U-V-J Hamiltonian of strongly correlated electronic systems onto a non-linear temporal landscape. We introduce the Extended Dirac Principle...
