Quantum Theory as an Emergent Phenomenon: The Statistical Mechanics of Matrix Models as the Precursor of Quantum Field Theory
Adler, Stephen L. (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey)
Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory but raises conceptual issues that perplex physicists and philosophers of science. This 2004 book develops an approach, based on the proposal that quantum theory is not a complete, final theory, but in fact an emergent phenomenon arising from a deeper level of dynamics.
