Beyond the Quantum
Speaker(s): Antony Valentini
Abstract: According to hidden-variables theories, quantum physics is a special 'equilibrium' case of a much wider 'nonequilibrium' physics. We describe the search for that wider physics in a cosmological context. The hypothesis that the universe began in a state of quantum nonequilibrium is shown to have obse... read more

The nature of the wave function in de Broglie's pilot-wave theory

Inflationary cosmology as a probe of primordial quantum mechanics
Speaker(s): Antony Valentini
Abstract: It is shown that inflationary cosmology may be used to test the statistical predictions of quantum theory at very short distances. Hidden-variables theories, such as the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm, allow the existence of vacuum states with non-standard field fluctuations (“quantum non... read more
