The method of adiabatic elimination has been widely adopted in quantum optics in the past several decades. In the study of cavity-based light-matter interactions, the bad-cavity limit is often encountered, where the damping rate of the…

We define a distinguished "ground state" or "vacuum" for a free scalar quantum field in a globally hyperbolic region of an arbitrarily curved spacetime. Our prescription is motivated by the recent construction of a quantum field theory on a…

A scalar self-interacting theory non-linearly coupled with some power of the curvature have a possibility to explain the current smallness of the cosmological constant. Here one concentrate on a massless scalar field in the four-dimensional…

In this paper, we study $F(R)$ gravity by Hu-Sawicki model in Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background. The Friedmann equations are calculated by modified gravity action, and then the obtained Friedmann equations are…

In `entropic cosmology', instead of a cosmological constant $\Lambda$, an extra driving term is added to the Friedmann equation and the acceleration equation, taking into account the entropy and the temperature on the horizon of the…
