Does decoherence violate decoupling?
C. P. Burgess, Thomas Colas, R. Holman +1
Recent calculations in both flat and de Sitter spacetimes have highlighted a tension between the decoupling of high-energy physics from low-energy degrees of freedom and the expect…
Cosmic Purity Lost: Perturbative and Resummed Late-Time Inflationary Decoherence
C. P. Burgess, Thomas Colas, R. Holman +2
We compute the rate with which unobserved fields decohere other fields to which they couple, both in flat space and in de Sitter space, for spectator scalar fields prepared in thei…
Duality between the quantum inverted harmonic oscillator and inverse square potentials
Sriram Sundaram, C. P. Burgess, D. H. J. O'Dell
In this paper we show how the quantum mechanics of the inverted harmonic oscillator can be mapped to the quantum mechanics of a particle in a super-critical inverse square potentia…
