Emergent classicality and wavefunction branching in an isolated quantum many-body system
Saúl Pilatowsky-Cameo, Jordan Cotler, Daniel Ranard +1
Decoherence in quantum systems is conventionally modeled as the effect of interactions with an external environment. However, such a prescription excludes isolated many-body system…
Quantum Chaos and Quantum Optimal Transport
Jordan Cotler, Felipe Hernández
Chaos in classical systems can be characterized by Lyapunov exponents that measure the exponential divergence of nearby trajectories, but directly extending this framework to quant…
Inner products and closed universes
Jordan Cotler, Kristan Jensen
We study overlaps of late-time states in semiclassical de Sitter quantum gravity. In a family of deformations of de Sitter JT gravity, we compute the no-boundary wavefunction to on…
Renormalization in Liouville gravity and stochastic inflation
Jordan Cotler, Victor Ivo, Juan Maldacena
Motivated by inflation and Liouville theory, we consider random -dimensional geometries characterized by an overall scale factor given in terms of a rando…
