We argue that the demand of background independence in a quantum theory of gravity calls for an extension of standard geometric quantum mechanics. We discuss a possible kinematical and dynamical generalization of the latter by way of a quantum covariance of the state space. Specifically, we apply our scheme to the problem of a background independent formulation of Matrix Theory.

  1. Information Metrics and Possible Limitations of Local Information Objectivity in Quantum Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantum gravity may permit contextual deviations from the Fisher metric, inducing observer-dependent modifications to the Born rule.

  2. Quantum Spacetime, Quantum Gravity and Gravitized Quantum Theory

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Quantum spacetime with a non-commutative dual explains the fixed Born rule of quantum theory and leads to gravitized quantum mechanics featuring dynamical probabilities and higher-order interference.
