Beable-guided measurement theory

In quantum mechanics, randomness is postulated as a separate axiom. De Broglie's theory allows one to reproduce quantum phenomena from completely deterministic formalism. But the question of the quantum randomness emergency in the de Broglie-Bohm theory needs special attention. In the work [G. Tastevin, F. Laloë, Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2021, 22, 1, pp. 99-116], it was shown that it arises as a result of the device microscopic state influence on the measurement result. In our work, we investigate the genesis of the quantum randomness in the de Broglie's theory in more details. Namely, we investigate the target system and the device behaviour in the decoherence process and model the measurement of canonical-conjugate observables. We propose a thought experiment which tests the opportunity of the information transition using beable-parameters violating the uncertainty relation. We show that in the measurement process, the strong stochastic fluctuations of beable parameters arise randomising the system in accordance with the uncertainty relation. Nevertheless, we find anomalous models of measurement in which these fluctuations can be neglected. These special models require further investigation.

Gauge dependence of effective gravitational field.II. Point-like measuring device

The role of the measurement process in resolving the gauge ambiguity of the effective gravitational potential is reexamined. The motion of a classical point-like particle in the field of an arbitrary linear source, and in the field of another point-like particle is investigated. It is shown that in both cases the value of the gravitational field read off from the one-loop effective action of the testing particle depends on the Feynman weighting parameter. The found dependence is essential in that it persists in the expression for the gravitational potential. This result disproves the general conjecture about gauge independence of the effective equations of motion of classical point-like particles.

Gauge dependence of effective gravitational field

The problem of gauge independent definition of effective gravitational field is considered from the point of view of the process of measurement. Under assumption that dynamics of the measuring apparatus can be described by the ordinary classical action, effective Slavnov identities for the generating functionals of Green functions corresponding to a system of arbitrary gravitational field measured by means of scalar particles are obtained. With the help of these identities, the total gauge dependence of the non-local part of the one-loop effective apparatus action, describing the long-range quantum corrections, is calculated. The value of effective gravitational field inferred from the effective apparatus action is found to be gauge-dependent. A probable explanation of this result, referring to a peculiarity of the gravitational interaction, is given.
