Which black hole is spinning? Probing the origin of black-hole spin with gravitational waves. (arXiv:2311.05182v1 [astro-ph.HE])   from  gr-qc  by  Christian Adamcewicz, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane Fri Nov 10 2023 11:42:01 (23 hours) # 1. Theoretical studies of angular momentum transport suggest that isolated stellar-mass black holes are born with negligible dimensionless spin magnitudes $\chi \lesssim 0.01$. However, recent… Read more →

Do the CMB Temperature Fluctuations Conserve Parity?   from  PRL  by  Oliver H. E. Philcox Fri Nov 03 2023 18:00:00 (14 hours) # 1. Author(s): Oliver H. E. Philcox Observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have cemented the notion that the large-scale Universe is both statistically homogeneous and isotropic. But is it invariant also under reflections? To probe this we require… Read more →

Particle detector models from path integrals of localized quantum fields. (arXiv:2310.16083v1 [quant-ph])   from  quant-ph  by  Bruno de S. L. Torres Thu Oct 26 2023 09:32:00 (1 day) # 1. Using the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral, we draw a connection between localized quantum field theories and more commonly used models of local probes in Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI). By integrating over… Read more →

Analysis on the Derivation of the Schr\”odinger Equation with Analogy to Electromagnetic Wave Equation. (arXiv:2310.12175v1 [quant-ph])   from  quant-ph  by  Xuefeng Bao Fri Oct 20 2023 09:59:30 (23 hours) # 1. The Schr\”odinger equation is universally accepted due to its excellent predictions aligning with observed results within its defined conditions. Nevertheless, it does not seem to possess the simplicity of… Read more →

Signature of Einstein-Cartan theory. (arXiv:2309.11536v1 [gr-qc])   from  gr-qc  by  Bruno Arderucio Costa, Yuri Bonder Fri Sep 22 2023 09:55:02 (23 hours) # 1. We study the physical effects of torsion as predicted by the Einstein-Cartan theory in the test particle approximation and the non-relativist limit. We first present the corresponding non-relativistic Hamiltonian for a 2-spinor. Then, we solve an… Read more →
