Scalar Casimir Effect on a Two-Dimensional Sphere with a Wu--Yang Magnetic Monopole

Jun-Cheng Zhang, Xiao-Yin Pan, Juhao Wu +1

We investigate the Casimir effect of a complex scalar field on a two-dimensional sphere threaded by a fixed Wu--Yang magnetic monopole at the center. In this background the charged…

Entanglement Efficiencies in PT-Symmetric Quantum Mechanics

Christian Zielinski, Qing-hai Wang

The degree of entanglement is determined for an arbitrary state of a broad class of PT-symmetric bipartite composite systems. Subsequently we quantify the rate with which entangled…

Probability Density in the Complex Plane

Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook, Peter N. Meisinger +1

The correspondence principle asserts that quantum mechanics resembles classical mechanics in the high-quantum-number limit. In the past few years many papers have been published on…

Complex Correspondence Principle

Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook, Peter N. Meisinger +1

Quantum mechanics and classical mechanics are two very different theories, but the correspondence principle states that quantum particles behave classically in the limit of high qu…

Multidimensional Worldline Instantons

Gerald V. Dunne, Qing-hai Wang

We extend the worldline instanton technique to compute the vacuum pair production rate for spatially inhomogeneous electric background fields, with the spatial inhomogeneity being…

Fluctuations about Cosmological Instantons

Gerald V. Dunne, Qing-hai Wang

We study the semiclassical fluctuation problem around bounce solutions for a self-interacting scalar field in curved space. As in flat space, the fluctuation problem separates into…
