We show that the basic dynamical rules of quantum physics can be derived from
its static properties and the condition that superluminal communication is
forbidden. More precisely, the fact that the dynamics has to be described by
linear completely positive maps on density matrices is derived from the
following assumptions: (1) physical states are described by rays in a Hilbert
space, (2) probabilities for measurement outcomes at any given time are
calculated according to the usual trace rule, (3) superluminal communication is
excluded. This result also constrains possible non-linear modifications of
quantum physics.Comment: 4 page
