Circuit locality from relativistic locality in scalar field mediated entanglement
Andrea Di Biagio, Richard Howl, Äaslav Brukner +2
Locality is a central notion in modern physics, but different disciplines understand it in different ways. Quantum field theory focuses on relativistic locality, based on spacetime…
Disentangling Boltzmann brains, the time-asymmetry of memory, and the second law
David Wolpert, Carlo Rovelli, Jordan Scharnhorst
Are your perceptions, memories and observational data, a statistical fluctuation out of the thermal equilibrium of the universe, having no correlation with the actual past state of…
Spinfoam tunneling of quantum geometries in angle variables
Pietro DonÃ, Hal M. Haggard, Carlo Rovelli +2
Tunneling processes offer a promising path for finding signatures of quantum gravity. While tunneling of geometry has long been recognized in the literature, few detailed analyses…
Black holes have more states than those giving the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy: a simple argument
Carlo Rovelli
It is often assumed that the maximum number of independent states a black hole may contain is , where is the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the…
Can Alice do science and have friends, in a relational quantum world? Solipsism and Relational Quantum Mechanics
Carlo Rovelli
I discuss recent claims according to which relational understandings of quantum physics would undermine the credibility of science.
