  • Relational Quantum Mechanics
    Relational Quantum Mechanics Matteo Smerlak† September 17, 2006 †Ecole normale sup´erieure de Lyon, F-69364 Lyon, EU E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this internship report, we present Carlo Rovelli’s relational interpretation of quantum mechanics, focusing on its historical and conceptual roots. A critical analysis of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument is then put forward, which suggests that the phenomenon of ‘quantum non-locality’ is an artifact of the orthodox interpretation, and not a physical effect. A speculative discussion of the potential import of the relational view for quantum-logic is finally proposed. Figure 0.1: Composition X, W. Kandinski (1939) 1 Acknowledgements Beyond its strictly scientific value, this Master 1 internship has been rich of encounters. Let me express hereupon my gratitude to the great people I have met. First, and foremost, I want to thank Carlo Rovelli1 for his warm welcome in Marseille, and for the unexpected trust he showed me during these six months. Thanks to his rare openness, I have had the opportunity to humbly but truly take part in active research and, what is more, to glimpse the vivid landscape of scientific creativity. One more thing: I have an immense respect for Carlo’s plainness, unaltered in spite of his renown achievements in physics. I am very grateful to Antony Valentini2, who invited me, together with Frank Hellmann, to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, in Canada. We spent there an incredible week, meeting world-class physicists such as Lee Smolin, Jeffrey Bub or John Baez, and enthusiastic postdocs such as Etera Livine or Simone Speziale.

  • Variational Problem and Bigravity Nature of Modified Teleparallel Theories
    Variational Problem and Bigravity Nature of Modified Teleparallel Theories Martin Krˇsˇs´ak∗ Institute of Physics, University of Tartu, W. Ostwaldi 1, Tartu 50411, Estonia August 15, 2017 Abstract We consider the variational principle in the covariant formulation of modified telepar- allel theories with second order field equations. We vary the action with respect to the spin connection and obtain a consistency condition relating the spin connection with the tetrad. We argue that since the spin connection can be calculated using an additional reference tetrad, modified teleparallel theories can be interpreted as effectively bigravity theories. We conclude with discussion about the relation of our results and those obtained in the usual, non-covariant, formulation of teleparallel theories and present the solution to the problem of choosing the tetrad in f(T ) gravity theories. 1 Introduction Teleparallel gravity is an alternative formulation of general relativity that can be traced back to Einstein’s attempt to formulate the unified field theory [1–9]. Over the last decade, various modifications of teleparallel gravity became a popular tool to address the problem of the accelerated expansion of the Universe without invoking the dark sector [10–38]. The attractiveness of modifying teleparallel gravity–rather than the usual general relativity–lies in the fact that we obtain an entirely new class of modified gravity theories, which have second arXiv:1705.01072v3 [gr-qc] 13 Aug 2017 order field equations. See [39] for the extensive review. A well-known shortcoming of the original formulation of teleparallel theories is the prob- lem of local Lorentz symmetry violation [40, 41].

  • Engineering the Quantum Foam
    Engineering the Quantum Foam Reginald T. Cahill School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences, Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia [email protected] _____________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In 1990 Alcubierre, within the General Relativity model for space-time, proposed a scenario for ‘warp drive’ faster than light travel, in which objects would achieve such speeds by actually being stationary within a bubble of space which itself was moving through space, the idea being that the speed of the bubble was not itself limited by the speed of light. However that scenario required exotic matter to stabilise the boundary of the bubble. Here that proposal is re-examined within the context of the new modelling of space in which space is a quantum system, viz a quantum foam, with on-going classicalisation. This model has lead to the resolution of a number of longstanding problems, including a dynamical explanation for the so-called `dark matter’ effect. It has also given the first evidence of quantum gravity effects, as experimental data has shown that a new dimensionless constant characterising the self-interaction of space is the fine structure constant. The studies here begin the task of examining to what extent the new spatial self-interaction dynamics can play a role in stabilising the boundary without exotic matter, and whether the boundary stabilisation dynamics can be engineered; this would amount to quantum gravity engineering. 1 Introduction The modelling of space within physics has been an enormously challenging task dating back in the modern era to Galileo, mainly because it has proven very difficult, both conceptually and experimentally, to get a ‘handle’ on the phenomenon of space.

  • Arxiv:2002.00255V3 [Quant-Ph] 13 Feb 2021 Lem (BVP)
    A Path Integral approach to Quantum Fluid Dynamics Sagnik Ghosh Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune-411008, India Swapan K Ghosh UM-DAE Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences, University of Mumbai, Kalina, Santacruz, Mumbai-400098, India ∗ (Dated: February 16, 2021) In this work we develop an alternative approach for solution of Quantum Trajectories using the Path Integral method. The state-of-the-art technique in the field is to solve a set of non-linear, coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) simultaneously. We opt for a fundamentally different route. We first derive a general closed form expression for the Path Integral propagator valid for any general potential as a functional of the corresponding classical path. The method is exact and is applicable in many dimensions as well as multi-particle cases. This, then, is used to compute the Quantum Potential (QP), which, in turn, can generate the Quantum Trajectories. For cases, where closed form solution is not possible, the problem is formally boiled down to solving the classical path as a boundary value problem. The work formally bridges the Path Integral approach with Quantum Fluid Dynamics. As a model application to illustrate the method, we work out a toy model viz. the double-well potential, where the boundary value problem for the classical path has been computed perturbatively, but the Quantum part is left exact. Using this we delve into seeking insight in one of the long standing debates with regard to Quantum Tunneling.

  • The Emergence of Gravitational Wave Science: 100 Years of Development of Mathematical Theory, Detectors, Numerical Algorithms, and Data Analysis Tools

On September 14, 2015, the newly upgraded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) recorded a loud gravitational-wave (GW) signal, emitted a billion light-years away by a coalescing binary of two stellar-mass black holes. The detection was announced in February 2016, in time for the hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s prediction of GWs within the theory of general relativity (GR). The signal represents the first direct detec- tion of GWs, the first observation of a black-hole binary, and the first test of GR in its strong-field, high-velocity, nonlinear regime. In the remainder of its first observing run, LIGO observed two more signals from black-hole bina- ries, one moderately loud, another at the boundary of statistical significance. The detections mark the end of a decades-long quest and the beginning of GW astronomy: finally, we are able to probe the unseen, electromagnetically dark Universe by listening to it. In this article, we present a short historical overview of GW science: this young discipline combines GR, arguably the crowning achievement of classical physics, with record-setting, ultra-low-noise laser interferometry, and with some of the most powerful developments in the theory of differential geometry, partial differential equations, high-performance computation, numerical analysis, signal processing, statistical inference, and data science.

The model is based on the Ogievetsky theorem, which specifies the structure of the general coordinate transformation group. The theorem is implemented in the context of the Noether theorem with the use of the nonlinear representation technique. The canonical quantization is performed with the use of reparametrization-invariant time and Arnowitt– Deser–Misner foliation techniques. Basic quantum features of the models are discussed. Mistakes appearing in the previous papers are corrected. Keywords: models of quantum gravity; spacetime symmetries; higher spin symmetry 1. Introduction General relativity forms our understanding of spacetime. It is verified by the Solar System and cosmological tests [1,2]. The recent discovery of gravitational waves provided further evidence supporting the theory’s viability in the classical regime [3–6]. Despite these successes, there are reasons to believe that general relativity is unable to provide an adequate description of gravitational phenomena in the high energy regime and should be either modified or replaced by a new theory of gravity [7–11]. One of the main issues is the phenomenon of inflation. It appears that an inflationary phase of expansion is necessary for a self-consistent cosmological model [12–14].
