We provide a brief overview of the newly born field of quantum imaging, and discuss some concepts that lie at the root of this field.
We consider the quantum Hall effect in terms of an effective field theory formulation of the edge states, providing a natural common framework for the fractional and integral effects.
In these lectures we briefly cover some of the main lines of research in particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
We explore a field theoretical approach to quantum computing and control. This book consists of three parts. The basics of systems theory and field theory are reviewed in Part I. In Part II, a gauge theory is reinterpreted from a systems…
This is a talk presented at the conference ``Historical and Philosophical Reflections on the Foundations of Quantum Field Theory,'' at Boston University, March 1996. It will be published in the proceedings of this conference.
In the early 1970s, after a slow start, and lots of hurdles, Quantum Field Theory emerged as the superior doctrine for understanding the interactions between relativistic sub-atomic particles. After the conditions for a relativistic field…
An overview of the accomplishments of constructive quantum field theory is provided.
The goal of these lectures is to introduce readers with a basic knowledge of undergraduate physics (specifically non-relativistic quantum mechanics, special relativity, and electromagnetism) to the `current theory of everything': the…
Algebraic quantum field theory is an approach to relativistic quantum physics, notably the theory of elementary particles, which complements other modern developments in this field. It is particularly powerful for structural analysis but…
A modular quantum architecture is given for the space-time, particles, and fields of the Standard Model and General Relativity. It assumes a right-handed neutrino, so that based on their multiplet structure all fundamental fermions have…
We give a pedagogical introduction to algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT), with the aim of explaining its key structures and features. Topics covered include: algebraic formulations of quantum theory and the GNS representation theorem,…
The problem of obtaining a realistic, relativistic description of a quantum system is discussed in the context of a simple (light-cone) lattice field theory. A natural stochastic model is proposed which, although non-local, is relativistic…
A Brief review on the physics beyond the Standard Model.
Linearity allows several versions of reality to simultaneously exist in the state vector. But it implies that there is no interaction between versions, and that there will never be perception of more than one version. It also implies, in…
The basic assumptions and the general results of our bag model for nuclei are presented in detail. Nuclei are considered in a unified integration of the mean field theory and the MIT bag model
Cosmology is becoming an important tool to test particle physics models. We provide an overview of the standard model of cosmology with an emphasis on the observations relevant for testing fundamental physics.
We provide an overview of basic concepts, tools, and results of quantum field theoretical scattering theory. This article is prepared for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, edited by M. Bojowald and R.J. Szabo,…
This is a draft version of Part II of a three-part textbook on quantum field theory.
We comment on the present status, the concepts and their limitations, and the successes and open problems of the various approaches to a relativistic quantum theory of elementary particles, with a hindsight to questions concerning quantum…
We have a well-established standard model for cosmology and prospects for considerable additions from work in progress. I offer a list of elements of the standard model, comments on controversies in the interpretation of the evidence in…
