Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound
Juan Maldacena, Alexander Maloney, Brian McPeak
Some of the simplest wormhole solutions involve massless scalar fields that take imaginary values. Massless fields can be interpreted as coupling constants in asymptotically flat o…
Quantum bootstrap for central potentials
Scott Lawrence, Brian McPeak
We study the quantum-mechanical bootstrap as it applies to the bound states of several central potentials in three dimensions. As part of this effort, we show how the bootstrap app…
Bootstrapping supersymmetric (matrix) quantum mechanics
Samuel Laliberte, Brian McPeak
We apply the quantum-mechanics bootstrap to supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) and to its matrix relative, the Marinari-Parisi model, which is conjectured to describe the w…
Bootstrapping time-evolution in quantum mechanics
Scott Lawrence, Brian McPeak, Duff Neill
We present a method for obtaining a hierarchy of rigorous bounds on the time-evolution of a quantum mechanical system from an arbitrary initial state, systematically generalizing M…
