Classical-Quantum Correspondence and Hawking Radiation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-04-17 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

A recently discovered classical-quantum correspondence (CQC) maps certain quantum problems to corresponding classical problems. We illustrate the CQC for a quantum scalar field in the gravitational background of a collapsing spherical shell. By truncating the problem to a small set of variables, we show how the CQC can yield Hawking radiation as well as the slow down of the collapse due to radiation backreaction.
