Generalized Schroedinger equation in Euclidean field theory
Florian Conrady, Carlo Rovelli
We investigate the idea of a "general boundary" formulation of quantum field theory in the context of the Euclidean free scalar field. We propose a precise definition for an evolut…
A dialog on quantum gravity
Carlo Rovelli
The debate between loop quantum gravity and string theory is sometimes lively, and it is hard to present an impartial view on the issue. Leaving any attempt to impartiality aside,…
Minkowski vacuum in background independent quantum gravity
Florian Conrady, Luisa Doplicher, Robert Oeckl +2
We consider a local formalism in quantum field theory, in which no reference is made to infinitely extended spacial surfaces, infinite past or infinite future. This can be obtained…
A simple background-independent hamiltonian quantum model
Daniele Colosi, Carlo Rovelli
We study formulation and probabilistic interpretation of a simple general-relativistic hamiltonian quantum system. The system has no unitary evolution in background time. The quant…
