Hunting Quantum Gravity with Analogs: the case of graphene

G Acquaviva, A Iorio, P Pais, L Smaldone - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
Analogs of fundamental physical phenomena can be used in two ways. One way consists in
reproducing specific aspects of the classical or quantum gravity of quantum fields in curved …

[HTML][HTML] Casimir effect for mixed fields

M Blasone, GG Luciano, L Petruzziello, L Smaldone - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
We analyze the Casimir effect for a flavor doublet of mixed scalar fields confined inside a
one-dimensional finite region. In the framework of the unitary inequivalence between mass …

Bekenstein bound from the Pauli principle

G Acquaviva, A Iorio, L Smaldone - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Assuming that the degrees of freedom of a black hole are finite in number and of fermionic
nature, we naturally obtain, within a second-quantized toy model of the evaporation, that the …

Chiral-vacuum excited replicae in QCD modeling

E Garnacho-Velasco, PJA Bicudo, JEFT Ribeiro… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We present a detailed study of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) gap equation
“replicae” or excited vacuum states, orthogonal to the ground-state one, in the chiral-quark …

Heuristic derivation of the Casimir effect from Generalized Uncertainty Principle

M Blasone, G Lambiase, GG Luciano… - Journal of Physics …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
After a short introduction to the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), we discuss heuristic
derivations of the Casimir effect, first from the usual Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) …

Topologically inequivalent quantizations

G Acquaviva, A Iorio, L Smaldone - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
We discuss the representations of the algebra of quantization, the canonical commutation
relations, in a scalar quantum field theory with spontaneously broken U (1) internal …

Towards a Measurement Theory for Off-Shell Quantum Fields

K Okamura - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
In this study, we develop quantum measurement theory for quantum systems described by
C∗-algebras. This is the first step to establish measurement theory for interacting quantum …

Generalized generating functional for mixed-representation Green's functions: A quantum-mechanical approach

M Blasone, P Jizba, L Smaldone - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
When one tries to take into account the nontrivial vacuum structure of quantum field theory,
the standard functional-integral tools, such as generating functionals or transitional …

Deformations of thermo-algebras and of Fock spaces on a ring, and open quantum systems

R Cartas-Fuentevilla - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Using a hyperbolic ring based formalism, it is shown that special unitary groups correspond
to thermo-algebras for closed quantum systems, while for open systems, the full unitary …

Tensor network descriptions of quantum entanglement in path integrals, thermalisation and machine learning

A Hallam - 2019 - discovery.ucl.ac.uk
One of the major ways in which quantum mechanics differs from classical mechanics is the
existence of special quantum correlations-entanglement. Typical quantum states are highly …
