  • Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity
    Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity Daniel Harlowa and Hirosi Oogurib;c aCenter for Theoretical Physics Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA bWalter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA cKavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (WPI) University of Tokyo, Kashiwa, 277-8583, Japan E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: In this paper we use the AdS/CFT correspondence to refine and then es- tablish a set of old conjectures about symmetries in quantum gravity. We first show that any global symmetry, discrete or continuous, in a bulk quantum gravity theory with a CFT dual would lead to an inconsistency in that CFT, and thus that there are no bulk global symmetries in AdS/CFT. We then argue that any \long-range" bulk gauge symmetry leads to a global symmetry in the boundary CFT, whose consistency requires the existence of bulk dynamical objects which transform in all finite-dimensional irre- ducible representations of the bulk gauge group. We mostly assume that all internal symmetry groups are compact, but we also give a general condition on CFTs, which we expect to be true quite broadly, which implies this. We extend all of these results to the case of higher-form symmetries. Finally we extend a recently proposed new motivation for the weak gravity conjecture to more general gauge groups, reproducing the \convex hull condition" of Cheung and Remmen. An essential point, which we dwell on at length, is precisely defining what we mean by gauge and global symmetries in the bulk and boundary.

  • A Time-Symmetric Formulation of Quantum Entanglement
    entropy Article A Time-Symmetric Formulation of Quantum Entanglement Michael B. Heaney Independent Researcher, 3182 Stelling Drive, Palo Alto, CA 94303, USA; [email protected] Abstract: I numerically simulate and compare the entanglement of two quanta using the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics and a time-symmetric formulation that has no collapse postulate. The experimental predictions of the two formulations are identical, but the entanglement predictions are significantly different. The time-symmetric formulation reveals an experimentally testable discrepancy in the original quantum analysis of the Hanbury Brown–Twiss experiment, suggests solutions to some parts of the nonlocality and measurement problems, fixes known time asymmetries in the conventional formulation, and answers Bell’s question “How do you convert an ’and’ into an ’or’?” Keywords: quantum foundations; entanglement; time-symmetric; Hanbury Brown–Twiss (HBT); Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR); configuration space 1. Introduction Smolin says “the second great problem of contemporary physics [is to] resolve the problems in the foundations of quantum physics” [1]. One of these problems is quantum entanglement, which is at the heart of both new quantum information technologies [2] and old paradoxes in the foundations of quantum mechanics [3]. Despite significant effort, a comprehensive understanding of quantum entanglement remains elusive [4]. In this paper, I compare how the entanglement of two quanta is explained by the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics [5–7] and by a time-symmetric formulation that has Citation: Heaney, M.B. A no collapse postulate. The time-symmetric formulation and its numerical simulations Time-Symmetric Formulation of can facilitate the development of new insights and physical intuition about entanglement.

  • Promises, Not Promises: Tomorrow Vs. Forever January 19, 2020 Ted Cunningham
    Promises, Not Promises: Tomorrow vs. Forever January 19, 2020 Ted Cunningham 1. We are not promised tomorrow, but we are promised what? How much and when do you focus on God’s actual promise? 2. Have you ever clung to false promises that you thought were Christian? Please share. 3. Read James 4:13-16 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. (NIV) Planning in and of itself is not wrong, but what type of planning is wrong? Are you ever tempted to do this type of planning? How can you change your thinking about future plans? 4. What are some of the word pictures or metaphors used in Scripture to depict the shortness of life? Would you live differently if you felt you were almost out of time? List some specific ways. 5. How is planning affected by the sovereignty of God? Read the following proverbs. Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. (NIV) Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

  • When Tomorrow Starts Without Me Erica Shea Liupaeter When
    When Tomorrow Starts Without Me Erica Shea Liupaeter When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

  • Do the Causal Principles of Modern Physics Contradict Causal Anti-Fundamentalism?
    June 4, 2005. Rev. June 10,17, 05. Do the Causal Principles of Modern Physics Contradict Causal Anti-Fundamentalism? John D. Norton1 Department of History and Philosophy of Science University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh PA www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton To appear in Causality: Historical and Contemporary. (provisional title) eds. P. K. Machamer and G. Wolters, University of Pittsburgh Press In Norton(2003), it was urged that the world does not conform at a fundamental level to some robust principle of causality. To defend this view, I now argue that the causal notions and principles of modern physics do not express some universal causal principle, brought to light by discoveries in physics. Rather they merely assert that, according to relativity theory, spacetime has an invariant velocity, that of light; and that theories of matter admit no propagations faster than light. 1 These remarks were prepared as a reaction to Jeremy Butterfield’s ,“Spacetime as a Causal Set: A Philosopher’s Introduction,” presented at the Seventh Meeting of the Pittburgh-Konstanz Colloquium in the Philosophy of Science, Causation: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives, May 26-29, 2005, Konstanz. I thank Jeremy for his stimulating talk and comments; Miklos Redei and the participants in the conference for their helpful reactions and discussion; and Deutsche Bahn, Schweizerische Bundesbahnen and Trenitalia for providing the rail service between Konstanz, Zurich, Milan, Florence and Turin on which this note was drafted. 1 1. Introduction In Norton (2003), I outlined a form of skepticism about causation called “causal anti- fundamentalism.” Its central idea is that the structure of the world is to be discovered empirically; it is not to be legislated in advance by metaphysical principles, such as a law of causation or a principle of causality.

  • Information, Physics, Quantum: the Search for Links
    19 INFORMATION, PHYSICS, QUANTUM: THE SEARCH FOR LINKS John Archibald Wheeler * t Abstract This report reviews what quantum physics and information theory have to tell us about the age-old question, How come existence? No escape is evident from four conclusions: (1) The world cannot be a giant machine, ruled by any preestablished continuum physical law. (2) There is no such thing at the microscopic level as space or time or spacetime continuum. (3) The familiar probability function or functional, and wave equation or functional wave equation, of standard quantum theory provide mere continuum idealizations and by reason of this circumstance conceal the information-theoretic source from which they derive. (4) No element in the description of physics shows itself as closer to primordial than the elementary quantum phenomenon, that is, the elementary device-intermediated act of posing a yes-no physical question and eliciting an answer or, in brief, the elementary act of observer-participancy. Otherwise stated, every physical quantity, every it, derives its ultimate significance from bits, binary yes-or-no indications, a conclusion which we epitomize in the phrase, it from bit. 19.1 Quantum Physics Requires a New View of Reality Revolution in outlook though Kepler, Newton, and Einstein brought us [1-4], and still more startling the story of life [5-7] that evolution forced upon an unwilling world, the ultimate shock to preconceived ideas lies ahead, be it a decade hence, a century or a millenium.
