Computational quantum field theory for fermion pair creation in 2-dimensional curved spacetimes
Mohammed Alkhateeb, James P. Edwards, Yves Caudano
Similarly to the well-known phenomenon of particle / anti-particle pair production in strong electromagnetic fields (the Schwinger effect), the naïve matter field vacuum state can…

Multi-particle quantum systems within the Worldline Monte Carlo formalism
Ivan Ahumada, Max Badcott, James P. Edwards +6
We extend the Worldline Monte Carlo approach to computationally simulating the Feynman path integral of non-relativistic multi-particle quantum-mechanical systems. We show how to g…

Relativistic Quantum Kinetic Theory: Higher order contributions in assisted Schwinger pair production
James P. Edwards, Naser Ahmadiniaz, Sebastian M. Schmidt +1
Quantum kinetic theory is an important tool for studying non-equilibrium, non-perturbative and non-linear interactions within an open quantum system, and as such is able to provide…
