Classical and Quantum Causality in Quantum Field Theory
Based on a number of experimentally verified physical observations, it is argued that the standard principles of quantum mechanics should be applied to the Universe as a whole. Thus, a paradigm is proposed in which the entire Universe is represented by a pure state wavefunction contained in a factorisable Hilbert space of enormous dimension, and where this statevector is developed by successive...
متن کاملRemarks on Causality in Relativistic Quantum Field Theory
It is shown that the correlations predicted by relativistic quantum field theory in locally normal states between projections in local von Neumann algebras A(V1),A(V2) associated with spacelike separated spacetime regions V1, V2 have a (Reichenbachian) common cause located in the union of the backward light cones of V1 and V2. Further comments on causality and independence in quantum field theo...
متن کاملStochastic theory of accelerated detectors in a quantum field.
We analyze the statistical mechanical properties of n-detectors in arbitrary states of motion interacting with each other via a quantum field. We use the open system concept and the influence functional method to calculate the influence of quantum fields on detectors in motion, and the mutual influence of detectors via fields. We discuss the difference between self and mutual impedance, advance...
متن کاملZurek-Kibble Causality Bounds in Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau Theory and Quantum Field Theory
Zurek's and Kibble's causal constraints for defect production at continuous transitions are encoded in the field equations that condensed matter systems and quantum fields satisfy. In this article we highlight some of the properties of the solutions to the equations and show to what extent they support the original ideas.
متن کاملUse of Causality Conditions in Quantum Theory
The limitations on scattering amplitudes imposed by causality requirements are deduced from the demand that the commutator of field operators vanish if the operators are taken at points with space-like separations. The problems of the scattering of spin-zero particles by a force center and the scattering of photons by a quantized matter field are discussed. The causality requirements lead in a ...
