In a bipartite set-up, the vacuum state of a free Bosonic scalar field is entangled in real space and satisfies the area-law--- entanglement entropy scales linearly with area of the boundary between the two partitions. In this work, we show…
The entanglement entropy of a distinguished region of a quantum many-body system reflects the entanglement present in its pure ground state. In this work, we establish scaling laws for this entanglement for critical quasi-free fermionic and…

Perturbative quantum gravity starts from prescribing a background metric. That background metric is then used in order to carry out two separate steps: 1. One splits the non-perturbative metric into background and deviation from it…
These lectures are divided into two parts. In Part 1 I discuss bound state topics at the level of a basic course in field theory: The derivation of the Schr\"odinger and Dirac equations from the QED Lagrangian, by summing Feynman diagrams…
We predict a generic manifestation of quantum interference in many-body bosonic systems resulting in a coherent enhancement of the average return probability in Fock space. This enhancement is both robust with respect to variations of…
