Universal Description of Decoherence in Scale-Invariant Environments
Carlos Argüelles, Gabriela Barenboim, Gonzalo Herrera +2
When a quantum system couples to a scale-invariant environment, what form must its decoherence take? We prove that the answer is unique: under locality, Lorentz invariance, unitari…
Information-theoretic astrophysical uncertainties in the effective theory of dark matter direct detection
Gonzalo Herrera
The impact of astrophysical uncertainties in direct detection searches can vary significantly across particle dark matter models and detector targets, due to the different velocity…
Information divergences to parametrize astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter direct detection
Gonzalo Herrera, Andreas Rappelt
Astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter direct detection experiments are typically addressed by parametrizing the velocity distribution in terms of a few uncertain parameters th…
Precise interpretations of traditional fine-tuning measures
Andrew Fowlie, Gonzalo Herrera
We uncover two precise interpretations of traditional electroweak fine-tuning (FT) measures that were historically missed. (i) a statistical interpretation: the traditional FT meas…
