Geometric Event-Based Quantum Mechanics by Giovannetti, Vittorio, Lloyd, Seth, Maccone, Lorenzo

“…Textbook relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory can be recovered by dividing the event Hilbert spaces into space and time (a foliation) and then conditioning the event states onto the time part. Our theory satisfies the full Lorentz symmetry as a ‘geometric’ unitary transformation, and possesses relativistic observables for space (location of an event) and time (position in time of an event).…”
