The mathematical possibility of coupling two quantum dynamic systems having two different Planck constants, respectively, is investigated. It turns out that such canonical dynamics are always irreversible. Semiclassical dynamics is obtained by letting one of the two Planck constants go to zero. This semiclassical dynamics will preserve positivity, as expected, so an improvement of the earlier proposals by Aleksandrov and by Boucher and Traschen is achieved. Coupling of quantized matter to gravity is illustrated by a simplistic example.

  1. A post-Newtonian Gravitational Collapse Model from Linearized Gravity

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Linearized gravity produces a master equation extending the Diósi-Penrose collapse model to include rotational degrees of freedom and mixed contributions through gravitomagnetic coupling.

    Including environmental decoherence turns semi-classical approximations into exact effective descriptions of open quantum dynamics.

  3. Stochastic modes in postquantum classical gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Postquantum classical gravity requires stochastic spacetime fluctuations consisting of a diffusing spin-2 field and spin-0 scalar whose noise is constrained by LISA Pathfinder and decoherence bounds.
