Spacetime Grand Unified Theory
Gonçalo M. Quinta
The gauge symmetries and fermionic sector of the Standard Model are derived from the free Dirac Lagrangian in 8-dimensional spacetime. Motivated by second quantization, we embed th…
Qubit Casimir effect
Antonino Flachi, Gonçalo M. Quinta
In this letter we propose a new interpretation of the Casimir effect. Concretely, we show that the Casimir energy can be written as the quantum ``Von Neumann'' entropy associated t…
Creation of Wave Packets for Quantum Chromodynamics on Quantum Computers
Matteo Turco, Gonçalo M. Quinta, João Seixas +1
One of the most ambitious goals of quantum simulation of quantum field theory is the description of scattering in real time, which would allow not only for computation of scatterin…
Vacuum Energy from Qubit Entropy
Gonçalo M. Quinta, Antonino Flachi
We develop a non-conventional description of the vacuum energy in quantum field theory in terms of quantum entropy. Precisely, we show that the vacuum energy of any non-interacting…
Predicting leptonic CP violation via minimization of neutrino entanglement
Gonçalo M. Quinta, Alexandre Sousa, Yasser Omar
We show how a minimization principle of quantum entanglement between the oscillating flavors of a neutrino leads to a unique prediction for the CP-violation phase in the neutrino s…
Classical and Quantum Thermodynamic Systems in Curved Spacetime
Gonçalo M. Quinta
Systems at finite temperature make up the vast majority of realistic physical scenarios. Indeed, although zero temperature is often accompanied by simpler mathematics, the richness…
Classifying Quantum Entanglement through Topological Links
Gonçalo M. Quinta, Rui André
We propose a new classification scheme for quantum entanglement based on topological links. This is done by identifying a non-rigid ring to a particle, attributing the act of cutti…
Vacuum polarization in asymptotically Lifshitz black holes
Gonçalo M. Quinta, Antonino Flachi, José P. S. Lemos
There has been considerable interest in applying the gauge/gravity duality to condensed matter theories with particular attention being devoted to gravity duals (Lifshitz spacetime…
Entropy of extremal black holes: horizon limits through charged thin shells, a unified approach
José P. S. Lemos, Gonçalo M. Quinta, Oleg B. Zaslavskii
Using a unified approach we study the entropy of extremal black holes through the entropy of an electrically charged thin shell. We encounter three cases in which a shell can be ta…
Entropy of a self-gravitating electrically charged thin shell and the black hole limit
José P. S. Lemos, Gonçalo M. Quinta, Oleg B. Zaslavskii
A static self-gravitating electrically charged spherical thin shell embedded in a (3+1)-dimensional spacetime is used to study the thermodynamic and entropic properties of the corr…
