- Title: Earthquake Quantization
- Authors: Benjamin Koch and Enrique Mu\~noz
- Abstract summary: We propose a novel quantization prescription, where the paths of a path-integral are not random, but rather solutions of a geodesic equation in a random background.
We show that this change of perspective can be made mathematically equivalent to the usual formulations of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.

- Abstract: In this homage to Einstein's 144th birthday we propose a novel quantization
prescription, where the paths of a path-integral are not random, but rather
solutions of a geodesic equation in a random background. We show that this
change of perspective can be made mathematically equivalent to the usual
formulations of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. To conclude, we comment on
conceptual issues, such as quantum gravity coupled to matter and the quantum
equivalence principle.
