Event Information:
We are now approaching a time when experimental groups will try studying quantum behavior of objects with masses of order the Planck mass. Many have argued that it is at this scale that Quantum Mechanics may break down because of gravitational effects, and CWL theory is a concrete theory which makes such a prediction. In a recent seminar Philip Stamp has discussed introductory aspects of the theory before proceeding to discuss possible experiments in detail. In this talk I will further expand on the theory, discussing: its general structure and rules for computation, its similarities and differences with conventional quantum theory, classes of states, and some results for CWL corrections to correlation functions and transition amplitudes.
