General Junction Condition and Casimir Effect for (1+1)-Dimensional Scalar Network CFT
Tian-Ming Zhao, Sinan Pang, Ling Li +2
Recently, BCFT and ICFT have been generalized to the CFT on networks (NCFT). A key aspect of NCFT is how we connect the CFTs across different edges at the network nodes. Previous r…

Casimir Effect for Quantum Field theory in Networks
Tian-Ming Zhao, Rong-Xin Miao
This paper studies quantum field theories defined in networks, which are the multi-branch generalizations of interface conformal field theory (ICFT). We propose a novel junction co…

Schrödinger's cat state of optical parallel universes
Yu-Qing Cui, Tian-Ming Zhao, Rong-Xin Miao +2
Parallel worlds are imaginative ideas in quantum mechanics and cosmology. The superpositions of parallel worlds are novel states of quantum gravity and have no classical correspond…
