• Abstract summary: In [Entropy 25, 564 (2023) I considered the problem of wavefunction ensembles for spin models. The nonlinear terms of the kind introduced in [W.D. Wick, arXiv:1710.03278] were to block spatial cats by energy conservation as solution to the Measurement Problem. An experimental estimate to test the proposal of [W.D.

• Abstract: In [Entropy 25, 564 (2023)] I considered the problem of wavefunction ensembles for spin models. To observe magnetization at finite temperature, I had to add macroscopic nonlinear terms blocking macroscopic superpositions by energy conservation. The nonlinear terms were of the kind introduced in [W.D. Wick, arXiv:1710.03278 (2017)] to block spatial cats by energy conservation as solution to the Measurement Problem. Reviewing the theory from [W.D. Wick, arXiv:1710.03278 (2017), arXiv:1908.02352 (2019)], I derive a commutation relation that these nonlinear terms have to satisfy to be admitted and show that the terms of [W.D. Wick, arXiv:1710.03278 (2017), arXiv:2008.08663 (2020)] restricting the wavefunctions in space satisfies such relations. I generalize the terms of [Entropy 25, 564 (2023)] for non-pure spin models and check if they also satisfy the constraints, concluding with a negative answer. An experimental estimate to test the proposal of [W.D. Wick, arXiv:1710.03278 (2017)] is described at the end.

Here, we find--for a clean and interacting generic spin chain--that this can be prevented by the emergence of it approximate but stable conservation-laws not present in the undriven system. We show numerically, it in the thermodynamic limit,' that when required by these emergent conservation-laws, the entanglement-entropy density of an infinite subsystem remains zero.

We show that injectivity is equivalent to a property of the ground state of the spherical

  We calculate a unitary Fermi gas of atoms interacting with the finite-ranged Jost-Kohn potential.
