Scalar field theory with asymmetric potential is studied for $\phi^4$ theory with $\phi^3$ symmetry breaking. The equations of motion are solved analytically up to the second order to get the bounce-solution.
A phase space formulation of the filtering process upon an incident quantum state is developed. This formulation can explain the results of both quantum interference and delayed-choice experiments without making use of the controversial…
We summarize our recently proposed approach to quantum field theory on noncommutative curved spacetimes. We make use of the Drinfel'd twist deformed differential geometry of Julius Wess and his group in order to define an action functional…
In quantum field theory the path integral is usually formulated in the wave picture, i.e., as a sum over field evolutions. This path integral is difficult to define rigorously because of analytic problems whose resolution may ultimately…
We analyze numerically a two-dimensional $\lambda\phi^4$ theory showing that in the limit of a strong coupling $\lambda\to\infty$ just the homogeneous solutions for time evolution are relevant in agreement with the duality principle in…
We consider the quantum evolution of the space-independent mode of a $\lambda {\phi}^4$ theory as a minisuperspace in the space of all $\phi$. The motion of the wave packet in the minisuperspace is then compared to the motion of a wave…
The solution of the O$(N) \phi^4$ scalar field theory in the broken phase is given in the framework of light cone quantization and a 1/N expansion. It involves the successive building of operator solutions to the equation of motion and…
During the '70, several relativistic quantum field theory models in $D=1+1$ and also in $D=2+1$ have been constructed in a non-perturbative way. That was done in the so-called {\it constructive quantum field theory} approach, whose main…
While the notion of open quantum systems is itself old, most of the existing studies deal with quantum mechanical systems rather than quantum field theories. After a brief review of field theoretical/path integral tools currently available…
We study a first-order formulation for the coupled evolution of a quantum scalar field and a classical Friedmann universe. The model is defined by a state dependent hamiltonian constraint and the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation for…
Guided by idealized but soluble nonrenormalizable models, a nontraditional proposal for the quantization of covariant scalar field theories is advanced, which achieves a term-by-term, divergence-free perturbation analysis of interacting…
Well-defined nonlinear deformations of free quantum fields are introduced as manifestly Poincar\'e invariant scaling and resonance properties of non-dynamical scale models in Minkowski space, instead of introducing nonlinear dynamical…
Quantum field theory in the $4$-dimensional de Sitter space-time is constructed in the ambient space formalism in a rigorous mathematical framework. This work is based on the group representation theory and the analyticity of the…
A quantum version of transition state theory based on a quantum normal form (QNF) expansion about a saddle-centre-...-centre equilibrium point is presented. A general algorithm is provided which allows one to explictly compute QNF to any…
In this paper we construct the 2 dimensional Euclidean $\phi^4$ quantum field theory using the method of loop vertex expansion. We reproduce the results of standard constructive theory, for example the Borel summability of the Schwinger…
We describe the quantum theory of massless (p,0)-forms that satisfy a suitable holomorphic generalization of the free Maxwell equations on Kaehler spaces. These equations arise by first-quantizing a spinning particle with a U(1)-extended…
One examines the infinitely deep quantum cavity, also known as the quantum infinite square well, within the framework of the real Hilbert space. The solutions are considered in terms of complex wave functions, and also in terms of…
The quantum three-wave interaction, the lowest order nonlinear interaction in plasma physics, describes energy-momentum transfer between three resonant waves in the quantum regime. We describe how it may also act as a…
Traditionally, scalar $\phi^4$ theory in four dimensions is thought to be quantum trivial in the continuum. This tradition is apparently well grounded both in physics arguments and mathematical proofs. Digging into the proofs one finds that…
A mathematically well-defined, manifestly covariant theory of classical and quantum field is given, based on Euclidean Poisson algebras and a generalization of the Ehrenfest equation, which implies the stationary action principle. The…
