Graviton-induced which-path decoherence in matter-wave interferometry
Hiroki Matsui
We derive which-path decoherence for matter-wave interferometry that arises from tracing out the gravitons of linearized quantum gravity. Because the gravitons are driven linearly…
Squeezed Gravitons and One-Loop Self-Energy under Light-Cone Smearing
Hiroki Matsui
We investigate light-cone smearing induced by quantum fluctuations of gravitons and its implications for the ultraviolet structure of quantum field theory. By treating the first-or…
Casimir-Induced Quintessence in Dark Dimension
Tomoki Katayama, Hiroki Matsui, Yuri Michinobu +3
We investigate a concrete realization of the Dark Dimension scenario, where a single large extra dimension is set at sub-millimeter scales. In this framework, the Casimir energy of…
Resurgence in Lorentzian quantum cosmology: No-boundary saddles and resummation of quantum gravity corrections around tunneling saddle points
Masazumi Honda, Hiroki Matsui, Kazumasa Okabayashi +1
We revisit the path-integral approach to the wave function of the Universe by utilizing Lefschetz thimble analyses and resurgence theory. The traditional Euclidean path-integral of…
Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity and Lorentzian Quantum Cosmology
Masazumi Honda, Hiroki Matsui, Kota Numajiri +1
We directly evaluate the probability amplitudes in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity using the Lorentzian path integral formulation. By imposing boundary conditions on the scale facto…
