Quantum fermions from classical statistics

quantum mechanics can be described by classical statistics !

quantum particle from classical probabilities

Double slit experiment Is there a classical probability density w(x,t) describing interference ? Suitable time evolution law : local, causal ? Yes ! Bell’s inequalities ? Kochen-Specker Theorem ? Or hidden parameters w(x,α,t) ? or w(x,p,t) ? or w(x,p,t) ?

statistical picture of the world basic theory is not deterministic basic theory is not deterministic basic theory makes only statements about probabilities for sequences of events and establishes correlations basic theory makes only statements about probabilities for sequences of events and establishes correlations probabilism is fundamental, not determinism ! probabilism is fundamental, not determinism ! quantum mechanics from classical statistics : not a deterministic hidden variable theory

Probabilistic realism Physical theories and laws only describe probabilities

Physics only describes probabilities Gott würfelt Gott würfelt Gott würfelt nicht

Physics only describes probabilities Gott würfelt

but nothing beyond classical statistics is needed for quantum mechanics !

Classical wave function Classical wave function q is real, not necessarily positive Positivity of probabilities automatic.

Time evolution Rotation preserves normalization of probabilities Evolution equation specifies dynamics simple evolution : R independent of q

Grassmann formalism Formulation of evolution equation in terms of action of Grassmann functional integral Formulation of evolution equation in terms of action of Grassmann functional integral Symmetries simple, e.g. Lorentz symmetry for relativistic particles Symmetries simple, e.g. Lorentz symmetry for relativistic particles Result : evolution of classical wave function describes dynamics of Dirac particles Result : evolution of classical wave function describes dynamics of Dirac particles Dirac equation for wave function of single particle state Dirac equation for wave function of single particle state Non-relativistic approximation : Schrödinger equation for particle in potential Non-relativistic approximation : Schrödinger equation for particle in potential

Grassmann wave function Map between classical states and basis elements of Grassmann algebra For every n s = 0 : g τ contains factor ψ s Grassmann wave function : s = ( x, γ )

Functional integral Grassmann wave function depends on t, since classical wave function q depends on t ( fixed basis elements of Grassmann algebra ) ( fixed basis elements of Grassmann algebra ) Evolution equation for g(t) Evolution equation for g(t) Functional integral Functional integral

Wave function from functional integral Wave function from functional integral L(t) depends only on ψ(t) and ψ(t+ε)

Evolution equation Evolution equation for classical wave function, and therefore also for classical probability distribution, is specified by action S Evolution equation for classical wave function, and therefore also for classical probability distribution, is specified by action S Real Grassmann algebra needed, since classical wave function is real Real Grassmann algebra needed, since classical wave function is real

Massless Majorana spinors in four dimensions

Time evolution linear in q, non-linear in p

One particle states One –particle wave function obeys Dirac equation : arbitrary static “vacuum” state

Dirac spinor in electromagnetic field one particle state obeys Dirac equation complex Dirac equation in electromagnetic field

Schrödinger equation Non – relativistic approximation : Non – relativistic approximation : Time-evolution of particle in a potential described by standard Schrödinger equation. Time-evolution of particle in a potential described by standard Schrödinger equation. Time evolution of probabilities in classical statistical Ising-type model generates all quantum features of particle in a potential, as interference ( double slit ) or tunneling. This holds if initial distribution corresponds to one- particle state.
