• Title: A dynamic programming interpretation of quantum mechanics
• Authors: Adam Brownstein
• Abstract summary: We introduce a transformation of the quantum phase $S'=S+frachbar2logrho$, which converts the deterministic equations of quantum mechanics into the Lagrangian reference frame of particles. We show that the quantum potential can be removed from the transformed quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equations if they are solved as Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations.

• Abstract: We introduce a transformation of the quantum phase $S'=S+\frac{\hbar}{2}\log\rho$, which converts the deterministic equations of quantum mechanics into the Lagrangian reference frame of stochastic particles. We show that the quantum potential can be removed from the transformed quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equations if they are solved as stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. The system of equations provide a local description of quantum mechanics, which is enabled by the inherently retrocausal nature of stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. We also investigate the stochastic transformation of the classical system, where is it shown that quantum mechanics with the quantum potential reduced by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ has a classical representation, which may have interesting implications. Finally, we discuss the notion of a subsystem correspondence principle, which constrains the ontology of the total quantum system.

We establish the Lyapunov equation as a fundamental and efficient formalism for linear open quantum systems.

This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
