Covariant nonperturbative pointer variables for quantum fields
In this talk I will discuss how modelling local, nonperturbative measurements in relativistic field theories has traditionally led to a choice between mathematical intractability and frictions with covariance and causality.
The recent development of technologies based on fundamental quantum physical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement adds new weight to the question whether nature may have found similar solutions.
Coming full circle - A unified framework for Kochen-Specker contextuality
Contextuality is a key distinguishing feature between classical and quantum physics. It expresses a fundamental obstruction to describing quantum theory using classical concepts. In turn, when understood as a resource for quantum computation, it is…
What is so quantum about quantum reference frames?
The concept of a "quantum reference frame" has been explored by physicists and philosophers working together as a way to make sense of the idea of quantum superpositions of space-times.
Observation of the quantum equivalence principle for matter-waves
Einstein's general theory of relativity is based on the principle of equivalence - in essence, dating back to Galileo - which asserts that, locally, the effect of a gravitational field is equivalent to that of an accelerating reference frame, so that…
On Observer-Dependent Description of Quantum State on Identical Particles
The setup of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox leads to an observer-dependent description of the quantum state from the perspective of quantum information theory.
Signatures and Phenomena: Some philosophical lessons from contemporary particle physics
We argue that the concept of signatures, which is prominently used in particle physics measurements, albeit widely neglected by philosophers, represents an important complement to the much-discussed concept of phenomena – not only in physics.
Global Gauge Symmetries and Spatial Asymptotic Boundary Conditions in Yang-Mills-Higgs Theory
In Yang-Mills gauge theory on a Cauchy surface the group of physical gauge symmetries carrying direct empirical significance (DES) is often believed to equal a quotient of the group of boundary-preserving gauge symmetries by its subgroup of…
Causal consistency requirements for gravity-induced entanglement in systems with internal energy
I will present the effects of changes in internal energy on gravity-induced entanglement in interference experiments, which in principle allows for faster-than-light communication.
