- Authors: Carlo A. Trugenberger
- Abstract summary: We review quantum gravity, an approach which combines Einstein's idea of dynamical geometry with Wheeler's "it from bit" hypothesis.
In the 2D case, the geometric phase describes negative-curvature surfaces with two inversely related scales, an ultraviolet (UV) Planck length and an infrared (IR) radius of curvature.
We obtain curved trajectories around massive particles also in 3D, representing the large-scale gravity interactions.

- Abstract: We review combinatorial quantum gravity, an approach which combines
Einstein's idea of dynamical geometry with Wheeler's "it from bit" hypothesis
in a model of dynamical graphs governed by the coarse Ollivier-Ricci curvature.
This drives a continuous phase transition from a random to a geometric phase,
due to a condensation of loops on the graph. In the 2D case, the geometric
phase describes negative-curvature surfaces with two inversely related scales,
an ultraviolet (UV) Planck length and an infrared (IR) radius of curvature.
Below the Planck scale the random bit character survives: chunks of random bits
of the Planck size describe matter particles of excitation energy given by
their excess curvature. Between the Planck length and the curvature radius, the
surface is smooth, with spectral and Hausdorff dimension 2; at scales larger
than the curvature radius, particles see the surface as an effective Lorentzian
de Sitter surface, the spectral dimension becomes 3 and the effective slow
dynamics of particles, as seen by co-moving observers, emerges as quantum
mechanics in Euclidean 3D space. Since the 3D distances are inherited from the
underlying 2D de Sitter surface, we obtain curved trajectories around massive
particles also in 3D, representing the large-scale gravity interactions. We
shall thus propose that this 2D model describes a generic holographic screen
relevant for real quantum gravity.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently revolutionized radiance field reconstruction, achieving high quality novel view synthesis and fast rendering speed without baking.
We present 2D Gaussian Splatting (2DGS), a novel approach to model and reconstruct geometrically accurate radiance fields from multi-view images.
We demonstrate that our differentiable terms allows for noise-free and detailed geometry reconstruction while maintaining competitive appearance quality, fast training speed, and real-time rendering.

We investigate a quantum particle confined to a toroidal surface in the presence of a filiform current along the system's rotational axis.
Our analysis reveals that the interaction between the particle and the current induces a non-zero toroidal dipole in the particle's stationary states.

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.

For a spinless quantum particle in a one-dimensional box or an electromagnetic wave in a one-dimensional cavity, the respective Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions both lead to non-degenerate wave functions.
In two spatial dimensions, the symmetry of the box or microstrip antenna is an important feature that has often been overlooked in the literature.

We investigate the properties of a quantum walk which can simulate the behavior of a spin $1/2$ particle in a model with an ordinary spatial dimension.
In particular, we observe that the probability distribution becomes, at large time steps, concentrated near the "low energy" brane.
In this way, we obtain a localization effect whose strength is controlled by a warp coefficient.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
