Quantum Field Theory (QFT) makes predictions by combining two sets of assumptions: (1) quantum dynamics, such as a Schrodinger or Liouville equation; (2) quantum measurement, such as stochastic collapse to an eigenfunction of a measurement…
The transition from a classical to quantum theory is investigated within the context of orthogonal and symplectic Clifford algebras, first for particles, and then for fields. It is shown that the generators of Clifford algebras have the…
We propose a system of equations to describe the interaction of a quasiclassical variable $X$ with a set of quantum variables $x$ that goes beyond the usual mean field approximation. The idea is to regard the quantum system as continuously…
Random field with paths given as restrictions of holomorphic functions to Euclidean space-time can be Wick-rotated by pathwise analytic continuation. Euclidean symmetries of the correlation functions then go over to relativistic symmetries.…

Field theories are usually quantized by performing a path integral over configurations of classical fields. This is the case both in perturbation theory and in Wilson's nonperturbative lattice field theory. D-theory is an alternative…
Mean field theory for the time evolution of quantum meson fields is studied in terms of the functional Schroedinger picture with a time-dependent Gaussian variational wave functional. We first show that the equations of motion for the…
