Theory of machine learning based on nonrelativistic quantum mechanics

The goal of this paper is the presentation of the elementary procedures that normally are done in nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics in terms of the principles of Machine Learning. In essence, this paper discusses Mitchell’s criteria, whose block fundamental dictates that the universal evolution of any system is composed by three fundamental steps: (i) Task, (ii) Performance and (iii) Experience. In this paper, the quantum mechanics formalism reflected on the usage of evolution operator and Green’s function are assumed to be part of mechanisms that are inherently engaged to the Machine Learning philosophy. The action for measuring observables through experiments and the intrinsic apparition of statistical or systematic errors are discussed in terms of “quantum learning”.

Wave Function Realism in a Relativistic Setting

This chapter considers and responds to criticism that wave function realism is only plausible as an approach to the interpretation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and not relativistic quantum theories and quantum field theories. This critique gains traction as wave function realism has until now been formulated and defended solely within the context of idealized, nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The chapter considers five such arguments and responds to each. An important lesson is that wave function realists should only adopt the wave-function-in-configuration-space picture as part of an interpretation of an idealized nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. More generally, the space the wave function inhabits will vary as the quantum theory the wave function realist is developing an interpretation of varies. The chapter develops a sketch of what wave function realism looks like in one relativistic context. It then discusses the issue of the interpretation of quantum theories in the limit of physical theorizing.

The Phase Space Model of Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics

We focus on several questions arising during the modelling of quantum systems on a phase space. First, we discuss the choice of phase space and its structure. We include an interesting case of discrete phase space. Then, we introduce the respective algebras of functions containing quantum observables. We also consider the possibility of performing strict calculations and indicate cases where only formal considerations can be performed. We analyse alternative realisations of strict and formal calculi, which are determined by different kernels. Finally, two classes of Wigner functions as representations of states are investigated.

Attractive inverse-square interaction from Lorentz symmetry breaking effects at a low energy scenario

We analyze nonrelativistic quantum effects on a neutral particle due to the presence of an attractive inverse-square potential that stems from the effects of the Lorentz symmetry violation determined by the parity-even sector of the tensor [Formula: see text]. We show that bound states solutions to the Schrödinger equation can be achieved. We go further by considering a repulsive inverse-square potential yielded by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects, which are also determined the parity-even sector of the tensor [Formula: see text]. Then, we analyze the influence of this repulsive inverse-square potential on a neutral particle confined to two cylindrical surfaces and a cylindrical surface.

The Nonrelativistic Quantum-Mechanical Hamiltonian with Diamagnetic Current-Current Interaction

We extend the standard solid-state quantum mechanical Hamiltonian containing only Coulomb interactions between the charged particles by inclusion of the (transverse) current-current diamagnetic interaction starting form the non-relativistic QED restricted to the states without photons and neglecting the retardation in the photon propagator. This derivation is supplemented with a derivation of an analogous result along the non-rigorous old classical Darwin-Landau-Lifshitz argumentation within the physical Coulomb gauge.
