We explore the connection of positivity of the imaginary part of forward elastic amplitudes for perturbative scattering with consistency of the entanglement generated by the S-matrix, for states with arbitrary internal quantum numbers such…
The unitarity of the $S$-matrix requires that the absorptive part of the elastic scattering amplitude receives contributions from both the inelastic and the elastic channels. We explore this unitarity condition in order to describe, in a…
We investigate the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes in theories in which Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken. We do so by computing and studying the S-matrix for a simple example: a superfluid described by a complex scalar…
The statistics of S-matrix fluctuations are numerically investigated on a model for irregular quantum scattering in which a classical chaotic diffusion takes place within the interaction region. Agreement with various random-matrix…
This study aims to address the nature of state change, measurement, and probabilistic outcomes in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. We consider a pair of particles that interact in a one-dimensional setting via a delta-function potential.…
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study near forward scattering of colourless objects in gauge theory in the high energy limit. We find an unexpected from the gauge theory perspective `gravity-like' s^1 behaviour of the amplitudes coming…
The asymptotic behavior of the scattering amplitude for two scalar particles at high energies with fixed momentum transfers is studied. The study is done within the effective theory of quantum gravity based on quasi-potential equation. By…
We consider a general quantum field relativistic scattering involving two half spin fermions, $A$ and $B$, which are initially entangled with another fermion $C$ that does not participate in the scattering dynamics. We construct general…
We study topological phase transitions in discrete gauge theories in two spatial dimensions induced by the formation of a Bose condensate. We analyse a general class of euclidean lattice actions for these theories which contain one coupling…
We examine the notion and properties of the non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian of an unstable system using as an example potential resonance scattering with a fixed angular momentum. We present a consistent self-adjoint formulation of the…
In these lectures I talk about simplifications and universalities found in scattering amplitudes for gauge and gravity theories. In contrast to Ward identities, which are understood to arise from familiar symmetries of the classical action,…
We study two-to-two scattering amplitudes of a scalar particle of mass $m$. For simplicity, we assume the presence of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry and that the particle is $\mathbb{Z}_2$ odd. We consider two classes of amplitudes: the fully…
Unitarity is the fundamental property of the S-matrix while its usage for a scattering of unstable particles has been subtle as unstable particles do not appear in the asymptotic states. Defining unstable-particle amplitudes as residues of…
The commutators of the Poincar\'e group generators will be unchanged in form if a unitary transformation relates the free generators to the generators of an interacting relativistic theory. We test the concept of unitary transformations of…
In this paper, the interaction of an incident finite amplitude longitudinal wave with a localized region of nonlinearity is considered. This interaction produces a secondary field represented by a superposition of first-, second-, and…
A quantum scattering theory is developed for Fock states scattered by two-level systems in the free space. Compared to existing scattering theories that treat incident light semi-classically, the theory fully quantizes the incident light as…
The Landauer-Buettiker theory of mesoscopic conductors was recently extended to nanoelectromechanical systems. In this extension, the adiabatic reaction forces exerted by the electronic degrees of freedom on the mechanical modes were…
This work explores the quantum dynamics of the interaction between scalar (matter) and vectorial (intermediate) particles and studies their thermodynamic equilibrium in the grand-canonical ensemble. The aim of the article is to clarify the…
We find the complete set of conditions satisfied by the forward $2\to2$ scattering amplitude in unitarity and causal theories. These are based on an infinite set of energy dependent quantities -- the arcs -- which are dispersively expressed…
It is well-known that there exists a close relation between a large $N$ matrix model and noncommutative (NC) field theory: The latter can be naturally obtained from the former by expanding it around a specific background. Because the matrix…
