Does Quantum Electrodynamics Have an Arrow of Time?
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum electrodynamics is a time-symmetric theory that is part of the electroweak interaction, which is invariant under a generalized form of this symmetry, the PCT transformation. The thesis is defended that the arrow of time in electrodynamics is a consequence of the assumption of an initial state of high order, together with the quantum version of the equiprobability postulate.

The Importance of Boundary Conditions in Quantum Mechanics
We discuss the role of boundary conditions in determining the physical content of the solutions of the Schrödinger equation. We study the standing-wave, the “in,” the “out,” and the purely outgoing boundary conditions. As well, we rephrase Feynman’s +iε prescription as a time-asymmetric, causal boundary condition, and discuss the connection of Feynman’s +iε prescription with the arrow of time o...
متن کاملA subquantum arrow of time
The outcome of a single quantum experiment is unpredictable, except in a purestate limit. The definite process that takes place in the apparatus may either be intrinsically random or be explainable from a deeper theory. While the first scenario is the standard lore, the latter implies that quantum mechanics is emergent. In that case, it is likely that one has to reconsider radiation by accelera...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Circulation of Decentralized Digital Money in Quantum Electrodynamics Space: the Econphysics Approach
The study aimed at showing how to create and release cryptocurrency, based on which one can introduce a new generation of this money that can continue its life in the quantum computers space and study whether cryptocurrency could be controlled or the rules should be rewritten in line with new technology. Regarding this, we showed the evolution of money and its uses in economic relations. Accord...
متن کاملDynamical evolution of nonclassical properties in cavity quantum electrodynamics with a single trapped ion
In this paper, by considering a system consisting of a single two-level trapped ion interacting with a single-mode quantized radiation field inside a lossless cavity, the temporal evolution of the ionic and the cavity-field quantum statistical properties including photon-counting statistics, quantum fluctuations of the field quadratures and quantum fluctuations of the ionic dipole variables are...
متن کاملCalculation of Kolmogorov Entropy in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics
In this paper Kolomogorov entropy of a simulated cavity quantum electrodynamics in a multi-partite system consisting of eight quantum dots in interaction with one cavity mode has been estimated. It has been shown that the Kolmogorov Entropy monotonically increases with the increasing coupling strength, which is a sufficient condition for chaotic behavior under ultrastrong coupling regime. The a...
