多重宇宙的量子测度

A quantum measure of the multiverse

Alexander Vilenkin

摘要:

最近有人提出,多元宇宙中不同事件的概率是由这些事件沿着测地线观察者(“观察者”)的世界线遇到的频率给出的。在这里,我讨论这个概率测度到量子理论的一个扩展。建议的扩展是规范不变的,因为是经典版本的这种措施。观察者的观察由一个约化密度矩阵描述,事件的频率可以用量子力学的退相干历史形式(适用于开放系统)来计算。量子观察者测度的预言与量子力学的标准玻恩定则一致。

英文摘要:

It has been recently suggested that probabilities of different events in the multiverse are given by the frequencies at which these events are encountered along the worldline of a geodesic observer (the "watcher"). Here I discuss an extension of this probability measure to quantum theory. The proposed extension is gauge-invariant, as is the classical version of this measure. Observations of the watcher are described by a reduced density matrix, and the frequencies of events can be found using the decoherent histories formalism of Quantum Mechanics (adapted to open systems). The quantum watcher measure makes predictions in agreement with the standard Born rule of QM.
