- Abstract: Recently Dragan and Ekert [New. J. Phys 22, 033038, 2020] presented arguments
that probabilistic dynamics inherent in the realm of quantum physics is related
to the propagation of superluminal particles. Moreover they argue that
existence of such particles is a natural consequence of the principle of
relativity. We show that the proposed extension of Lorentz transformation can
be interpreted in natural way without invoking superluminal phenomena.

The quantum nature of fields, such as quantum fluctuations or emission of gravitons expressed in terms of the Keldysh Green's function also play important roles in the mechanism of decoherence due to on-shell particle creation.
