• Abstract: We propose a reinterpretation and reformulation of the single-particle Green's function in nonrelativistic quantum many-body theory with an emphasis on normalization. By downfolding a correlation function covering all of Fock space into the observable portion, we derive a nonlocal Dyson equation which depends on an unknown downfolding frequency. The downfolding frequency is determined by solving the inverse problem so that the spectral function of the single-particle propagator is a Dirac-$\delta$ function. Upon measurement, the system collapses stochastically onto one of these normalized solutions. This collapse has a nonlocal effect on the path the particle takes, in agreement with quantum entanglement. We postulate that the multiplicity of each quantized solution is directly related to the ensemble averaged spectrum and the entropy created by measurement of the particle. In the final part, we outline a new picture of dynamics in quantum many-body systems. As a function of the coupling strength, the multiplicity for collapse has a complicated form due to the shape of the quantization condition. This structure creates an entropic force from counting quantized solutions which is predominantly attractive but likely also has a narrow repulsive regime at weak coupling. Upon collapse, an internal spacetime forms between the two points in order to carry the information gained from the reduction of the probabilistic many-body state. The repeated creation of these spacetime bridges defines an internal spacetime with a complicated shape and history. We treat the quantum system as a finite informational resource that holds information about possible normalized outcomes, collapses the wave function to reset after encountering a conflict, and creates an internal spacetime to carry the information gained with every collapse.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

  In the study of closed many-body quantum systems one is often interested in the evolution of a subset of degrees of freedom. In the simplest case the evolution of the reduced state of the system is governed by a quantum master equation with a time-independent, i.e. Markovian, generator. Here we are interested in understanding to which extent a neural network function approximator can predict open quantum dynamics from an underlying unitary dynamics.

  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.
