Bell Correlations in Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
, 2011 Bell correlations are the hallmark of quantum non-locality, and a rich context for analysing them is provided by the algebraic approach to quantum field theory (AQFT): the basic idea is to associate with each bounded region O of Minkowski spacetime an ...

Reeh-Schlieder defeats Newton-Wigner: On alternative localization schemes in relativistic quantum field theory [PDF]
, 2000 Many of the "counterintuitive" features of relativistic quantum field theory have their formal root in the Reeh-Schlieder theorem, which in particular entails that local operations applied to the vacuum state can produce any state of the entire

An introduction to the general boundary formulation of quantum field theory
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 We give a brief introduction to the so-called general boundary formulation (GBF) of quantum theory. This new axiomatic formulation provides a description of the quantum dynamics which is manifestly local and does not rely on a metric background structure for its definition.

Quantum Field Theory: Underdetermination, Inconsistency, and Idealization [PDF]
, 2009 Quantum field theory (QFT) presents a genuine example of the underdetermination of theory by empirical evidence. There are variants of QFT which are empirically indistinguishable yet support different interpretations.

, 2019 I will give an overview of how the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism can be incorporated into perturbative algebraic quantum field theory in full generality and I will discuss two examples: gauge theories and effective quantum gravity. In the latter case,

The birth of string theory: Introduction and synopsis [PDF]
, 2012 This is a draft of the introduction to the collective volume "The birth of string theory" (CUP, 2012), including the book's index and preface. The book explores the history of the theory’s early stages of development, as told by its main protagonists. It

, 2019 Classical field theory predicts how physical fields interact with matter, and is a logical precursor to quantum field theory. This introduction focuses purely on modern classical field theory, helping graduates and researchers build an understanding of ...

Formalism and Interpretation in Quantum Theory [PDF]
, 2008 Quantum Mechanics can be viewed as a linear dynamical theory having a familiar mathematical framework but a mysterious probabilistic interpretation, or as a probabilistic theory having a familiar interpretation but a mysterious formal framework.

Perturbative algebraic quantum field theory with smoothened boundary
We formulate quantisation of gauge field theories on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds with marked hypersurfaces within the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory (pAQFT) enriched by the Batalin, Fradkin, Vilkovisky formalism (BV/BFV). This allows one to incorporate some crucial aspects of the local functorial approach to gauge

Boundary bound states in integrable quantum field theories
, 2000 The purpose of this talk is to sketch some recent progress which has been made in calculating non-perturbatively the reflection factors for the sinh-Gordon model restricted to a half-line by integrable boundary conditions. The essential idea is to calculate the energy spectrum of boundary breathers in two independent ways; firstly by using the boundary
