Hot Cosmic Qubits: Late-Time de Sitter Evolution and Critical Slowing Down
Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess
Temporal evolution of a comoving qubit coupled to a scalar field in de Sitter space is studied with an emphasis on reliable extraction of late-time behaviour. The phenomenon of cri…
Hot Accelerated Qubits: Decoherence, Thermalization, Secular Growth and Reliable Late-time Predictions
Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess
We compute how an accelerating qubit coupled to a scalar field - i.e. an Unruh-DeWitt detector - evolves in flat space, with an emphasis on its late-time behaviour. When calculable…
A model of quantum gravity with emergent spacetime
Sung-Sik Lee
We construct a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are dynamical. The microscopic degree of freedom is a real rectangular matrix whose r…
Point-Particle Catalysis
P. Hayman, C. P. Burgess
We use the point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) framework to describe particle-conversion mediated by a flavour-changing coupling to a point-particle. We do this for a toy…
