• Abstract: Here we present some results that would possibly have attracted the attention of the physics community in the early days of quantum mechanics in such a way that its development could have been different from what we see today. We will first present a derivation of Planck's blackbody spectrum radiation without the hypothesis of quantized energy levels of the oscillator, the only additional hypothesis to the classical theory being the existence of zeropoint fluctuations in the electromagnetic field, and this would stand as a nontrivial vacuum which could be inferred by classical means. After doing this, we derive the Unruh-Hawking effect for the electromagnetic field in a purely undulatory context, without dualities and without photons, and one question, among many others, arises after these statements: What would be the development of quantum mechanics if Planck was aware of these possibilities?

  There is mounting theoretical evidence that black hole horizons induce decoherence on a quantum system.<n>This phenomenon has been shown to owe its existence to soft modes.<n>We show that the discreteness of the energy levels associated to the different geometric configurations might have strong impact on the results.

  Using techniques of p-adic analysis, it is possible to formulate a rigorous version of the quantum mechanics. The experimental testability of physical theories at the Planck scale is currently impossible. We show that a large class of Schr"odinger equations describes the scaling limits of continuous-time quantum walks on graphs.

  The superposition principle is one of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. Here we demonstrate the preparation of a mechanical resonator with an effective mass of 16.2 micrograms in Schr"odinger cat states of motion. We show control over the size and phase of the superposition and investigate the decoherence dynamics of these states.

  Examples of well-known enigmas are wave particle duality, the de Broglie hypothesis, the uncertainty principle, wave function collapse, and predictions of measurement outcomes in terms of probability instead of certainty. Paul Dirac successfully incorporated special theory of relativity into quantum mechanics for the first time.

  Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.

• Classical model of delayed-choice quantum eraser [0.0]
  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.

• Nature does not play dice at the Planck scale [0.0]
  We start from classical general relativity coupled to matter fields. By coarse-graining this matrix dynamics over time intervals much larger than Planck time, one derives quantum theory as a low energy emergent approximation. In our theory, dark energy is shown to be a large-scale quantum gravitational phenomenon.

• Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
  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.

• External and internal wave functions: de Broglie's double-solution theory? [77.34726150561087]
  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.
