Descrizione
In the attempt to find a deterministic description of quantum systems,
’t Hooft proposed the idea that deterministic degrees of freedom could
operate at very high energy scales (e.g. Planck scale) and ordinary
quantum mechanics would appear as a result of an information loss
process. This implies the existence of “beables”, i.e. ontological
(commuting) operators which, after information loss, would give rise to
the usual quantum (non-commuting) observables.
I will review some recent developments along this line of research and
in particular the possibility of regarding the Gupta-Bleuler condition
arising in the quantization of electromagnetic field in Lorenz gauge, as
the condition for obtaining a genuine quantum system (QED) out of a
deterministic one.
