Information geometry in quantum field theory: lessons from simple examples. (arXiv:2001.02683v1 [hep-th]) 上午10:07 | Johanna Erdmenger, Kevin T. Grosvenor, Ro Jefferson | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Motivated by the increasing connections between information theory and high-energy physics, particularly in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we explore the information geometry associated to a variety of simple systems. By studying their… Read more →
Gravitation in terms of observables. (arXiv:1802.02661v1 [gr-qc]) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-2-10 12:53am GMT Authors: Rodolfo Gambini, Jorge Pullin In the 1960’s, Mandelstam proposed a new approach to gauge theories and gravity based on loops. The program for gauge theories was completed for Yang–Mills theories by Gambini and Trias in the 1980’s. Gauge theories could be understood as representations of certain… Read more →
Rodolfo Gambini (Instituto de Fsica, Facultad de Ciencias) and Jorge Pullin (Louisiana State University) We show that several interpretations of quantum mechanics admit an ontology of objects and events. This ontology reduces the breach between mind and matter. When humans act, their actions do not appear explainable in mechanical terms but through mental activity: motives, desires or needs that propel them to action. These… Read more →

Statistics on Lefschetz thimbles: Bell/Leggett-Garg inequalities and the classical-statistical approximation. (arXiv:2011.02657v1 [hep-th]) 上午10:08 | Zong-Gang Mou, Peter Millington, Paul M. Saffin, Anders Tranberg | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Inspired by Lefschetz thimble theory, we treat Quantum Field Theory as a statistical theory with a complex Probability Distribution Function (PDF). Such complex-valued PDFs permit the violation of Bell-type inequalities, which cannot… Read more →
Classical causal models cannot faithfully explain Bell nonlocality or Kochen-Specker contextuality in arbitrary scenarios. (arXiv:1909.05434v1 [quant-ph]) 下午12:56 | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: J. C. Pearl, E. G. Cavalcanti In a recent work, it was shown by one of us (EGC) that Bell-Kochen-Specker inequality violations in phenomena satisfying the no-disturbance condition (a generalisation of the no-signalling condition) cannot in general be explained… Read more →
