Quantum dynamics with two Planck constants and the semiclassical limit
read the original abstract
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.

Stochastic modes in postquantum classical gravity
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.
