• Abstract summary: We obtain the wave function describing collapsing dust in an anti-de Sitter background, as seen by a co-moving observer. We perform a causal de Broglie-Bohm analysis, and obtain the corresponding quantum potential. An initially collapsing solution with a negative cosmological constant bounces back after reaching a minimum radius.

• Abstract: In the functional Schrodinger formalism, we obtain the wave function describing collapsing dust in an anti-de Sitter background, as seen by a co-moving observer, by mapping the resulting variable mass Schrodinger equation to that of the quantum isotonic oscillator. Using this wave function, we perform a causal de Broglie-Bohm analysis, and obtain the corresponding quantum potential. We construct a bouncing geometry via a disformal transformation, incorporating quantum effects. We derive the external solution that matches with this smoothly, and is also quantum corrected. Due to a pressure term originating from the quantum potential, an initially collapsing solution with a negative cosmological constant bounces back after reaching a minimum radius, and thereby avoids the classical singularity predicted by general relativity.

• Quantizing the Quantum Uncertainty [0.0]
  We discuss the quantization of the quantum uncertainty as an operator acting on wave-functions over field space. We show how this spectrum appears in the value of the coupling of the effective conformal potential driving the evolution of extended Gaussian wave-packets. We conclude with an open question: is it possible to see experimental signatures of the quantization of the quantum uncertainty in non-relativistic physics?

• Quantum Uncertainty as an Intrinsic Clock [0.0]
  In quantum mechanics, a classical particle is raised to a wave-function, thereby acquiring many more degrees of freedom. We show that the Ermakov-Lewis invariant for the classical evolution in a time-dependent harmonic potential is actually the quantum uncertainty of a Gaussian wave-packet. This naturally extends the classical Ermakov-Lewis invariant to a constant of motion for quantum systems following Schrodinger equation.

  Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment was conceived to illustrate the paradoxical nature of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics. In the experiment, quantum light can exhibit either wave-like interference patterns or particle-like anti-correlations. A variant known as the quantum eraser uses entangled light to recover the lost interference in a seemingly nonlocal and retrocausal manner.

We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
