dc.descriptionNon-relativistic quantum mechanics for a free particle is shown to emerge from classical mechanics through an invariance principle under transformations that preserve the Heisenberg position-momentum inequality. These transformations are induced by isotropic space dilations. This invariance imposes a change in the laws of classical mechanics that exactly corresponds to the transition to quantum mechanics. The Schroedinger equation appears jointly with a second nonlinear equation describing non-unitary processes. Unitary and non-unitary evolutions are exclusive and appear sequentially in time. The non-unitary equation admits solutions that seem to correspond to the collapse of the wave function.
