Title: Classical Many-Worlds Interpretation
Authors: Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica,
Abstract summary: I present a simple baby-steps reconstruction of quantum mechanics as a fully classical theory. Despite its simplicity and minimalism of radical concepts, this is not a toy model, being equivalent with quantum field theory.

Abstract: I present a simple baby-steps reconstruction of quantum mechanics as a fully classical theory. The most radical conceptual leap required is that there are many coexisting classical worlds, but even this is justified by the necessity of objective probabilities. These baby steps lead to a version of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics with built-in probabilities, built-in classicality at the macroscopic level, and an explanation of the complex numbers in quantum mechanics. Despite its simplicity and minimalism of radical concepts, this is not a toy model, being equivalent with quantum field theory.

Universal quantum computation using Ising anyons from a non-semisimple Topological Quantum Field Theory [0.058331173224054456]
We propose a framework for topological quantum computation using newly discovered non-semisimple analogs of topological quantum field theories in 2+1 dimensions. We show that the non-semisimple theory introduces new anyon types that extend the Ising framework.

Postulating the Unicity of the Macroscopic Physical World [0.0]
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.

Is there a finite complete set of monotones in any quantum resource theory? [39.58317527488534]
We show that there does not exist a finite set of resource monotones which completely determines all state transformations. We show that totally ordered theories allow for free transformations between all pure states.

Quantum Instability [30.674987397533997]
We show how a time-independent, finite-dimensional quantum system can give rise to a linear instability corresponding to that in the classical system. An unstable quantum system has a richer spectrum and a much longer recurrence time than a stable quantum system.

On the Common Logical Structure of Classical and Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
We show that quantum theory does satisfy the classical distributivity law once the full meaning of quantum propositions is properly taken into account. We show that the lattice of statistical propositions in classical mechanics follows the same structure, yielding an analogue non-commutative sublattice of classical propositions.

Quantum realism: axiomatization and quantification [77.34726150561087]
We build an axiomatization for quantum realism -- a notion of realism compatible with quantum theory. We explicitly construct some classes of entropic quantifiers that are shown to satisfy almost all of the proposed axioms.

An unorthodox view on quantum mechanics [0.0]
Quantum mechanics is a description of the sub-microscopic world that is profoundly different from what is often asserted. Author's opinion on the interpretation of quantum mechanics is further elucidated.
