NONLINEAR EXTENSIONS OF SCHRÖDINGER–VON NEUMANN QUANTUM DYNAMICS: A SET OF NECESSARY CONDITIONS FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH THERMODYNAMICS

NONLINEAR EXTENSIONS OF SCHRÖDINGER–VON NEUMANN QUANTUM DYNAMICS: A SET OF NECESSARY CONDITIONS FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH THERMODYNAMICS

We propose a list of conditions that consistency with thermodynamics imposes on linear and nonlinear generalizations of standard unitary quantum mechanics that assume a set of true quantum states without the restriction ρ 2 = ρ even for strictly isolated systems and that are to be considered in experimental tests …
