The concepts of complementarity and entanglement are considered with respect to their significance in and beyond physics. A formally generalized, weak version of quantum theory, more general than ordinary quantum theory of material systems,…
A model of particle interacting with quantum field is considered. The model includes as particular cases the polaron model and non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. We show that the field operators obey q-commutation relations with q…
I argue that the linearity of quantum mechanics is an emergent feature at the Planck scale, along with the manifold structure of space-time. In this regime the usual causality violation objections to nonlinearity do not apply, and nonlinear…
Quantum systems in extreme conditions can exhibit universal behavior far from equilibrium associated to nonthermal fixed points with a wide range of topical applications from early-universe inflaton dynamics and heavy-ion collisions to…
This note is an introduction to methods of construction for Hilbert space realizations of relativistic quantum physics. The realizations satisfy a revision to Wightman's functional analytic axioms and exhibit interaction in physical…
These are notes on some entanglement properties of quantum field theory, aiming to make accessible a variety of ideas that are known in the literature. The main goal is to explain how to deal with entanglement when -- as in quantum field…
We argue that the conventional quantum field theory in curved spacetime has a grave drawback: The canonical commutation relations for quantum fields and conjugate momenta do not hold. Thus the conventional theory should be denounced and the…
It is observed that certain convex envelopes of Wightman type functionals corresponding to scalar, stochastically positive quantum fields consist of Wightman type functionals only .This leads to the construction of a large classes of not…
We study the interactions of a possibly dense and/or quantum degenerate gas with driving light. Both the atoms and the electromagnetic fields are represented by quantum fields throughout the analysis. We introduce a field theory version of…
Despite the fact that we have some proposals for the quantum theory of gravity like string theory or loop quantum gravity, we do not have any experimental evidence supporting any of these theories. Actually, we do not have experimental…
Nonrenormalizable quantum field theories require counterterms; and based on the hard-core interpretation of such interactions, it is initially argued, contrary to the standard view, that counterterms suggested by renormalized perturbation…
Realistic effective interparticle interactions of quantum many-body systems are widely seen as being short-range. However, the rigorous mathematical analysis of this type of model turns out to be extremely difficult, in general, with many…
We propose a criterion to characterize interacting theories in a suitable Wightman framework of relativistic quantum field theories which incorporates a "singularity hypothesis", which has been conjectured for a long time, is supported by…
Recent experimental tests of Bell inequalities confirm that entangled quantum systems cannot be described by local classical theories but still do not answer the question whether or not quantum systems could in principle be modelled by…
The axiomatic approach based on Wightman functions is developed in noncommutative quantum field theory. We have proved that the main results of the axiomatic approach remain valid if the noncommutativity affects only the spatial variables.
For decades, a lot of work has been devoted to the problem of constructing a non-trivial quantum field theory in four-dimensional space time. This letter addresses the attempts to construct an algebraic quantum field theory in the framework…
The non-local quantum field theories attract interest in the mathematical and physical community as candidates for effective description of the reality taking into account the quantum gravity effects. The standard methods, developed for the…
With the recent surge of interest in quantum computation, it has become very important to develop clear experimental tests for ``quantum behavior'' in a system. This issue has been addressed in the past in the form of the inequalities due…
We study the behaviour of quantum field theories defined on a surface $S$ as it tends to a null surface $S_n$. In the case of a real, free scalar field theory the above limiting procedure reduces the system to one with a finite number of…
Present day quantum field theory (QFT) is founded on canonical quantization, which has served quite well, but also has led to several issues. The free field describing a free particle (with no interaction term) can suddenly become…
