Abstract

Building on the fact that quantum uncertainty is a dynamical degree of freedom in itself in quantum mechanics, I will start with the remark that its evolution can provide a notion of intrinsic clock. To illustrate the non-triviality of this idea, we’ll check the dynamics of the uncertainty if gravitizing quantum mechanics into a non-linear Schrödinger equation, and will see that it (surprisingly?) follows the same trajectories as planetary orbits. A third thread will come from the black hole mini-superspace in general relativity. We will see that, assuming that the quantization preserves all the symmetries of the theory, universal quantum gravity corrections can also be written as a non-linear Schrödinger equation, leading to a non-trivial evolution of the “classicality” of black hole wave-packets along the radial coordinate.
