Morse theory interpretation of topological quantum field theories
, 1988 Topological quantum field theories are interpreted as a generalized form of Morse theory. This interpretation is applied to formulate the simplest topological quantum field theory: topological quantum mechanics. The only non-trivial topological invariant

Quantum Information in Geometric Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2011 A fundamental starting point in quantum information theory is the consideration of the von Neumann entropy and its generalization to relative quantum entropies.

Two Dogmas About Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 We argue that the intractable part of the measurement problem -- the 'big' measurement problem -- is a pseudo-problem that depends for its legitimacy on the acceptance of two dogmas.

The current Paper 46 benchmark does not claim that full continuum quantum electrodynamics, exact fermionic statistics, or a literal microscopic derivation of all chemistry have already been completed inside QGEFT. It does show that the framework now supports a coherent algorithmic interpretation of three core quantum phenomena in one place: spin as ...

Large distance expansion in the Schrödinger representation of quantum field theory [PDF]
, 1997 This thesis is concerned with an approach to Quantum Field Theory in which the states are constructed from their large distance behaviour. The logarithm of the vacuum functional is expandable as a local quantity in any quantum field theory in which the ...

Perturbative and non-perturbative studies in low dimensional quantum field theory [PDF]
, 2007 A relevant perturbation of a conformal field theory (CFT) on the half-plane, by both a bulk and boundary operator, often leads to a massive theory with a particle description in terms of the bulk S-matrix and boundary reflection factor R.

Probability in modal interpretations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 Modal interpretations have the ambition to construe quantum mechanics as an objective, man-independent description of physical reality. Their second leading idea is probabilism: quantum mechanics does not completely fix physical reality but yields ...

I am pleased to announce the official publication of my working paper, "The 5D Membrane Projection Theory: A Geometric Framework for Field Inversion, Quantum Mechanics, and Cosmological Topology," now hosted open-access on Zenodo. As an Aircraft engineer, I have spent my life looking at systems through structural frameworks rather than abstract ...

Integrable quantum field theories, in the bulk and with a boundary [PDF]
, 2000 In this thesis, we consider the massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. These have the special property that they possess an infinite number of conserved quantities, a feature which greatly simplifies their ...
