A non-equilibrium system as a demon. (arXiv:1811.02453v2 [cond-mat.mes-hall] UPDATED) quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-11-10 1:30am GMT Authors: Rafael Sánchez, Janine Splettstoesser, Robert S. Whitney Maxwell demons are creatures that are imagined to be able to reduce the entropy of a system without performing any work on it. Conventionally, such a Maxwell demon’s intricate action consists in measuring individual particles and subsequently performing… Read more →
Why The Cosmological Constant is a Boundary Condition. (arXiv:1811.00130v1 [hep-th]) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-11-04 12:52am GMT Authors: Tom Banks, Willy Fischler We review arguments that the cosmological constant (c.c.) should not be thought of as a local contribution to the energy density, but rather as an infrared boundary condition specifying particular models of quantum gravity. Certifying the Building Blocks of… Read more →
On the Consistency of the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation in the Quantized Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld Gravity. (arXiv:1810.10918v1 [gr-qc]) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-26 3:30am GMT Authors: Mariam Bouhmadi-López, Che-Yu Chen, Pisin Chen We re-examine the quantum geometrodynamical approach within the Eddington-inspired-Born-Infeld theory of gravity, which was first proposed in our previous work [1]. A thorough analysis of the classical Hamiltonian with constraints is carried and… Read more →
50 years in the Landau Institute environment. (arXiv:1810.04447v5 [physics.hist-ph] UPDATED) physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-20 1:07am GMT Authors: G.E. Volovik Khalatnikov created the unique Institute, where practically all the important areas of theoretical physics have been represented, opening the broad way for collaboration. Here I discuss the influence of the multilayer environment of Landau Institute on my work during 50… Read more →

Bohm’s approach to quantum mechanics: Alternative theory or practical picture?. (arXiv:1707.00609v2 [quant-ph] UPDATED) physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-06 12:59am GMT Authors: A. S. Sanz Since its inception Bohmian mechanics has been generally regarded as a hidden-variable theory aimed at providing an objective description of quantum phenomena. To date, this rather narrow conception of Bohm’s proposal has caused it more rejection… Read more →
A Toy Model of the Information Paradox in Empty Space. (arXiv:1809.10154v1 [hep-th]) gr-qc updates on arXiv.org on 2018-9-28 12:43pm GMT Authors: Suvrat Raju A sharp version of the information paradox involves a seeming violation of the monogamy of entanglement during black hole evaporation. We construct an analogous paradox in empty anti-de Sitter space. In a local quantum field theory, Bell correlations… Read more →
Bouncing oil droplets, de Broglie’s quantum thermostat and convergence to equilibrium. (arXiv:1807.00569v4 [quant-ph] UPDATED) quant-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-9-22 7:24am GMT Authors: Mohamed Hatifi, Ralph Willox, Samuel Colin, Thomas Durt Recently, the properties of bouncing oil droplets, also known as “walkers”, have attracted much attention because they are thought to offer a gateway to a better understanding of quantum behaviour. They constitute indeed… Read more →
Dimensional reduction via a novel Higgs mechanism. (arXiv:1806.07520v1 [gr-qc] CROSS LISTED) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-23 1:03am GMT Authors: Saurya Das, Mir Faizal Many theories of quantum gravity live in higher dimensions, and their reduction to four dimensions via mechanisms such as Kaluza-Klein compactification or brane world models have associated problems. We propose a novel mechanism of dimensional reduction via spontaneous… Read more →
Quantum gravity tomography. (arXiv:1806.05643v1 [hep-th]) hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2018-6-16 1:14am GMT Authors: William Donnelly The holographic principle posits that all quantum information in a region of spacetime is encoded on its boundary. While there is strong evidence for this principle in certain models of quantum gravity in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime, it is yet to be established whether holography… Read more →
