Abstract: A relativistic collapse model for distinguishable particles is presented. Position and time, for each particle, are the fundamental operators of the theory. The Schr\"odinger equation is of the CSL form, with a Hermitian Hamiltonian and an anti-Hermitian, white-noise dependent, Hamiltonian. It generates state vector evolution parametrised by an "evolution parameter". It is shown how this can be interpreted as an evolving state in spacetime with collapses satisfying Born rule probabilities, and how certain choices of collapse generating operators lead to states of definite mass and definite configuration in spacetime. The model is Poincar\'e covariant and conserves energy in expectation.

Dynamics of a particle in the double-slit experiment with measurement [0.0]
We show that the evolution of a particle's state can be effectively captured through a random walk on a two-dimensional submanifold of the state space.<n>This random walk reproduces the Born rule for the probability of finding the particle near the slits.<n>A drift-free model, based on equivalence classes of states indistinguishable by the detector, is also considered.

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonian Deformations in Quantum Mechanics [4.071207179756646]
We introduce a broader class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian deformations in a nonrelativistic setting. We relate the time evolution operator and the time-evolving density matrix in the undeformed and deformed theories. As the dissipative evolution of a quantum system can be conveniently described in Liouville space, we discuss the spectral properties of the Liouvillians.

Quantum dynamics corresponding to chaotic BKL scenario [62.997667081978825]

The Time-Evolution of States in Quantum Mechanics [77.34726150561087]
It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
