Generic Bell correlation between arbitrary local algebras in quantum field theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that for any two commuting von Neumann algebras of infinite type, the open set of Bell correlated states for the two algebras is norm dense. We then apply this result to algebraic quantum field theory — where all local algebras are of infinite type — in order to show that for any two spacelike separated regions, there is an open dense set of field states that dictate Bell correlations between the regions. We also show that any vector state cyclic for one of a pair of commuting nonabelian von Neumann algebras is entangled (i.e., nonseparable) across the algebras—from which it follows that every field state with bounded energy is entangled across any two spacelike separated regions. PACS numbers: 11.10.-z, 11.10.Cd, 03.65.Bz

Wavefront Sets in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory
The investigation of wavefront sets of n-point distributions in quantum field theory has recently acquired some attention stimulated by results obtained with the help of concepts from microlocal analysis in quantum field theory in curved spacetime. In the present paper, the notion of wavefront set of a distribution is generalized so as to be applicable to states and linear functionals on nets o...
متن کاملVertex Algebras in Higher Dimensions and Globally Conformal Invariant Quantum Field Theory
We propose an extension of the definition of vertex algebras in arbitrary space–time dimensions together with their basic structure theory. An one-to-one correspondence between these vertex algebras and axiomatic quantum field theory (QFT) with global conformal invariance (GCI) is constructed.

متن کاملCausality and Chance in Relativistic Quantum Field Theories
Bell appealed to the theory of relativity in formulating his principle of local causality. But he maintained that quantum eld theories do not conform to that principle, even when their eld equations are relativistically covariant and their observable algebras satisfy a relativistically motivated microcausality condition. A pragmatist view of quantum theory and an interventionist approach to c...
متن کاملPhysikalisches Institut A Note on the Algebraic Evaluation of Correlators in Local Chiral Conformal Field Theory
We comment on a program designed for the study of local chiral algebras and their representations in 2D conformal field theory. Based on the algebraic approach described by W. Nahm, this program efficiently calculates arbitrary n-point functions of these algebras. The program is designed such that calculations involving e.g. current algebras, W-algebras and N–Superconformal algebras can be perf...
