Zig-zag dynamics in a Stern-Gerlach spin measurement
Simon Krekels, Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts +1
The one-century-old Stern-Gerlach setup is paradigmatic for a quantum measurement. We visualize the electron trajectories following the Bohmian zig-zag dynamics. This dynamics was…
Dynamical de Sitter black holes in a quasi-stationary expansion
Aaron Beyen, Efe Hamamcı, Kasper Meerts +1
We revisit and improve the analytic study arXiv:1804.03462 of spherically symmetric but dynamical black holes in Einstein's gravity coupled to a real scalar field. We introduce a s…
Resetting photons
Guilherme Eduardo Freire Oliveira, Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts
Starting from a frequency diffusion process for a tagged photon which simulates relaxation to the Planck law, we introduce a resetting where photons lower their frequency at random…
Photon frequency diffusion process
Guilherme Eduardo Freire Oliveira, Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts
We introduce a stochastic multi-photon dynamics on reciprocal space. Assuming isotropy, we derive the diffusion limit for a tagged photon to be a nonlinear Markov process on freque…
Diffraction and interference with run-and-tumble particles
Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts, Ward Struyve
Run-and-tumble particles, frequently considered today for modeling bacterial locomotion, naturally appear outside a biological context as well, e.g. for producing waves in the tele…
On the derivation of the Kompaneets equation
Guilherme Eduardo Freire Oliveira, Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts
The relaxation of a photon bath to thermal equilibrium via Compton scattering with electrons is described in the Kompaneets equation (1956). The equation is mostly known from studi…
Wave mechanics for gravity with point-particles
Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts, Ward Struyve
We consider non-relativistic point-particles coupled to Einstein gravity and their canonical quantization. From the resulting Wheeler-DeWitt wave equation we determine a quantum ve…
