Vacuum decay in quantum field theory
Esteban Calzetta, Albert Roura, Enric Verdaguer
We study the contribution to vacuum decay in field theory due to the interaction between the long and short-wavelength modes of the field. The field model considered consists of a…
Master equation for quantum Brownian motion derived by stochastic methods
Esteban Calzetta, Albert Roura, Enric Verdaguer
The master equation for a linear open quantum system in a general environment is derived using a stochastic approach. This is an alternative derivation to that of Hu, Paz and Zhang…
Dissipation, noise and vacuum decay in quantum field theory
Esteban Calzetta, Albert Roura, Enric Verdaguer
We study the process of vacuum decay in quantum field theory focusing on the stochastic aspects of the interaction between long and short-wavelength modes. This interaction results…
