• Abstract: We develop a novel approach to Quantum Mechanics that we call Curved Quantum Mechanics. We introduce an infinite-dimensional K\"ahler manifold ${\cal M}$, that we call the state manifold, such that the cotangent space $T_z^*{\cal M}$ is a Hilbert space. In this approach, a state of a quantum system is described by a point in the cotangent bundle $T^*{\cal M}$, that is, by a point $z\in{\cal M}$ in the state manifold and a one-form $\psi\in T^*_z{\cal M}$. The quantum dynamics is described by an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system on the state manifold with a magnetic field $H$, which reduces to the Schr\"odinger equation for zero curvature and reduces to the equations of geodesics for zero magnetic field. The curvature of the state manifold is determined by gravity, that is, by the mass/energy of the system, so that for microscopic systems the manifold is flat and for macroscopic systems it is strongly curved, which prohibits Schr\"odinger cat type states. We solved the dynamical equations exactly for the complex projective space and the complex hyperbolic space and show that in the case of negative curvature there is a bifurcation at a critical value of the curvature. This means that for small mass all modes are in the quantum regime with the unitary periodic dynamics and for large mass there are classical modes, with not a periodic but rather an exponential time evolution leading to a collapse of the state vector.

  Condensed matter systems provide alternative vacua' exhibiting emergent low-energy properties drastically different from those of the standard model. We show that the two greatly differ in their fine-structure constant $alpha$, which parametrizes how strongly matter couples to light. We find that $alpha_mathrmQSI$ can be tuned all the way from zero up to what is believed to be the textitstrongest possible coupling.

  A non-Hermitian operator $H$ defined in a Hilbert space with inner product $langlecdot|cdotrangle$ may serve as the Hamiltonian for a unitary quantum system. Such quantum systems, which are also encountered in the study of quantum mechanics in cosmological backgrounds, suffer from a conflict between the unitarity of time evolution and the unobservability of the Hamiltonian.
