• Abstract summary: We discuss possible extensions of quantum mechanics based on an operational scheme of estimation of momentum given positions. Within the estimation scheme, the canonical quantum laws are reconstructed for a specific estimator and estimation error. We argue that a broad class of nonlinearities and deviations from Heisenberg uncertainty principle arise from estimation errors.

• Abstract: One of the advantages of a reconstruction of quantum mechanics based on transparent physical axioms is that it may offer insight to naturally generalize quantum mechanics by relaxing the axioms. Here, we discuss possible extensions of quantum mechanics within a general epistemic framework based on an operational scheme of estimation of momentum given positions under epistemic restriction. The epistemic restriction is parameterized by a global-nonseparable random variable on the order of Planck constant, an ontic extension to the separable classical phase space variables. Within the estimation scheme, the canonical quantum laws is reconstructed for a specific estimator and estimation error. In the present work, keeping the Born's quadratic law intact, we construct a class of nonlinear variants of Schr\"odinger equation and generalized Heisenberg uncertainty principle within the estimation scheme by assuming a more general class of estimation errors. The nonlinearity of the Schr\"odinger equation and the deviation from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle thus have a common transparent operational origin in terms of generalizations of estimation errors. We then argue that a broad class of nonlinearities and deviations from Heisenberg uncertainty principle arise from estimation errors violating a plausible inferential-causality principle of estimation independence which is respected by the standard quantum mechanics. This result therefore constrains possible extensions of quantum mechanics, and suggests directions to generalize quantum mechanics which comply with the principle of estimation independence.

  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
