• Authors: David Viennot
• Abstract summary: We show how the formalism of geometric phases in adiabatic quantum dynamics provides geometric realisations permitting to embody'' the Everett's many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. We show that this geometric realisation is intimately related to quantum gravity, showing that the many-world interpretation can be consistent with quantum gravity.

• Abstract: We present how the formalism of geometric phases in adiabatic quantum dynamics provides geometric realisations permitting to ``embody'' the Everett's many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, including interferences between the worlds needed for the probability changes and the decoherence processes needed to solve the preferred basis problem. We show also that this geometric realisation is intimately related to quantum gravity (especially to matrix models), showing that the many-world interpretation can be consistent with quantum gravity. The concept of wormhole borrowed to general relativity is central in this geometric realisation. It appears not only as an image by analogy to help the interpretations, but also as a true physical model of quantum wormhole in quantum gravity, the two ones being consistent which each other.

  We argue that the unicity of the macroscopic world is a fundamental postulate of physics, rather than an issue that must be mathematically justified or demonstrated. This is made possible by using general operator algebras to extend the mathematical description of the physical world towards macroscopic systems.

  The quantum geometric tensor encodes the parameter space geometry of a physical system. We first provide a formulation of the quantum geometrical tensor in the path integral formalism that can handle both the ground and excited states. We then generalize the quantum geometric tensor to incorporate variations of the system parameters and the phase-space coordinates.

  We introduce two analysis tools, inspired by Renyi's information theory, to characterize and quantify fundamental properties of geometric quantum states. We recount their classical definitions, information-theoretic meanings, and physical interpretations, and adapt them to quantum systems via the geometric approach.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
