A local diagnostic program for unitary evolution in general space-times
Ka Hei Choi, Stefan Hofmann, Marc Schneider
We present a local framework for investigating non-unitary evolution groups pertinent to effective field theories in general semi-classical spacetimes. Our approach is based on a r…
Emerging entanglement on network histories
Cecilia Giavoni, Stefan Hofmann, Maximilian Koegler
We show that quantum fields confined to Lorentzian histories of freely falling networks in Minkowski spacetime probe entanglement properties of vacuum fluctuations that extend unre…
Perturbative quantum consistency near black-hole horizon formation
Stefan Hofmann, Maximilian Koegler, Florian Niedermann
We study the prelude to black-hole formation using a suspended shell composed of physical matter that fulfills the dominant energy condition. Here, the collapse of the shell is bro…
A Quantum Complete Prelude to Inflation
Stefan Hofmann, Marc Schneider, Maximilian Urban
It is shown that the inflationary paradigm admits quantum complete extensions of space-time. The extended inflationary spacetimes still have geodesic borders, but quantum fields ar…
Quantum Populations near Black-Hole Singularities
Ludwig Eglseer, Stefan Hofmann, Marc Schneider
Schwarzschild black-hole interiors border on space-like singularities representing classical information leaks. We show that local quantum physics is decoupled from these leaks due…
Non-Gaussian ground-state deformations near a black-hole singularity
Stefan Hofmann, Marc Schneider
The singularity theorem by Hawking and Penrose qualifies Schwarzschild black-holes as geodesic incomplete space-times. Albeit this is a mathematically rigorous statement, it requir…
