Classical Gravitational Bremsstrahlung from a Worldline Quantum Field Theory. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Using the recently established formalism of a worldline quantum field theory description of the classical scattering of two spinless black holes, we compute the far-field time-domain waveform of the gravitational waves produced in the encounter at ...

Wick Rotation and the Positivity of Energy in Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Mathematics, 2021 We propose a new axiom system for unitary quantum field theories on curved space-time backgrounds, by postulating that the partition function and the correlators extend analytically to a certain domain of complex-valued metrics.

A detector-based measurement theory for quantum field theory [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2021 We propose a measurement theory for quantum fields based on measurements made with localized non-relativistic systems that couple covariantly to quantum fields (like the Unruh-DeWitt detector). Concretely, we analyze the positive operator-valued measure (

Entanglement entropy and quantum field theory [PDF]
, 2004 We carry out a systematic study of entanglement entropy in relativistic quantum field theory. This is defined as the von Neumann entropy SA = −Tr ρAlogρA corresponding to the reduced density matrix ρA of a subsystem A.

Energy conditions in general relativity and quantum field theory [PDF]
Classical and quantum gravity, 2020 This review summarizes the current status of the energy conditions in general relativity and quantum field theory. We provide a historical review and a summary of technical results and applications, complemented with a few new derivations and discussions.

Quantum Algorithms for Quantum Field Theories [PDF]
Science, 2012 Quantum Leap? Quantum computers are expected to be able to solve some of the most difficult problems in mathematics and physics. It is not known, however, whether quantum field theories (QFTs) can be simulated efficiently with a quantum computer.

Quantum scars in quantum field theory
Physical Review D, 2023 We develop the theory of quantum scars for quantum fields. By generalizing the formalisms of Heller and Bogomolny from few-body quantum mechanics to quantum fields, we find that unstable periodic classical solutions of the field equations imprint themselves in a precise manner on bands of energy eigenfunctions.

Circuit complexity in quantum field theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 A bstractMotivated by recent studies of holographic complexity, we examine the question of circuit complexity in quantum field theory. We provide a quantum circuit model for the preparation of Gaussian states, in particular the ground state, in a free ...
