Quantum field theory in curved spacetime is a theory wherein matter is treated fully in accord with the principles of quantum field theory, but gravity is treated classically in accord with general relativity. It is not expected to be an…

The Unruh effect is essential to keep the consistency of quantum field theory in inertial and uniformly accelerated frames. Thus, the Unruh effect must be considered as well tested as quantum field theory itself. In spite of it, it would be…

We explore the quantum coherence between a pair of entangled Unruh-DeWitt detectors, interacting with a quantum field, using a nonperturbative approach in a (3+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with instantaneous switching…

We develop a quantization scheme for the quantum theory of a real scalar field on a class of non-commutative spacetime models collectively known as T-Minkowski. Requiring the theory to be covariant under T-Poincar\'e transformations, we…

The algebra of observables associated with a quantum field theory is invariant under the connected component of the Lorentz group and under parity reversal, but it is not invariant under time reversal. If we take general covariance…

We investigate quantum field theory in Rindler space with a UV cutoff by considering a free scalar field on a lattice in Rindler coordinates. We find that the Minkowski vacuum is not exactly thermal with respect to the local lattice Rindler…

In this paper, we investigate the quantum field theory in Klein space that has two time directions. To study the canonical quantization, we select the ``length of time" $q$ as the evolution direction of the system. In our novel…

Inspired by Einstein's Strong Principle of Equivalence we consider the effects of quantum mechanics to the gravity-like phenomena experienced by an observer in a uniformly accelerating motion in flat spacetime. Among other things, our model…

We revisit the coordinate coherent states approach through two different quantization procedures in the quantum field theory on the noncommutative Minkowski plane. The first procedure, which is based on the normal commutation relation…

Minkowski space serves as a framework for the theoretical constructions that deal with manifestations of relativistic effects in physical phenomena. But neither Minkowski himself nor the subsequent developers of the relativity theory have…

In Minkowski space, an accelerated reference frame may be defined as one that is related to an inertial frame by a sequence of instantaneous Lorentz transformations. Such an accelerated observer sees a causal horizon, and the quantum vacuum…

The formalism of nonrelativistic quantum physics was originally considered in the context of inertial frames. Here, we report on a more general framework that includes noninertial frames and arbitrarily strong gravitational fields. We…

We discuss the problem of canonical quantization of electromagnetic field in the Schwarzschild spacetime. It is shown that a consistent procedure of canonical quantization of the field can be carried out without taking into account the…

First, we explain some ambiguities of spacetime and metric field as fundamental concepts. Then, from the Unruh effect point of view and using the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction, we construct an operator as a quanta of acceleration that…

QED in two-dimensional Minkowski space contains a single physical state as seen by an inertial observer or by a constantly accelerating Rindler observer. However in Feynman gauge if one takes a generic representative of the physical…

We present a new procedure for quantizing field theory models on a noncommutative spacetime. The new quantization depends on the noncommutative parameter explicitly and reduces to the canonical quantization in the commutative limit. It is…

Although Quantum field theory has been very successful in explaining experiment, there are two aspects of the theory that remain quite troubling. One is the no-interaction result proved in Haag's theorem. The other is the existence of…
