Dissipative two-identical-particle systems: diffraction and interference

2021-02-12T10:08:13+01:00Tags: , |

Authors: Mousavi, S. V.; Miret-Artes, S. Contribution: Article Journal: EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL PLUS Publication date: 2020/01/17 DOI: 10.1140/epjp/s13360-020-00125-0 Abstract: Interference and diffraction of two-identical-particles are considered in the context of open quantum systems. This theoretical study is carried out within two approaches, the effective time-dependent Hamiltonian due to Caldirola-Kanai (CK) and the Caldeira-Leggett (CL) one where [...]

Closed timelike curves and chronology protection in quantum and classical simulators

2021-02-12T10:08:13+01:00Tags: , , |

Authors: Martin-Vazquez, Gonzalo; Sabin, Carlos Contribution: Article Journal: CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM GRAVITY Publication date: 2020/02/20 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6382/ab5f3f Abstract: In principe, general relativity seems to allow the existence of closed timelike curves (CTC). However, when quantum effects are considered, it is likely that their existence is prevented by some kind of chronological protection mechanism, as Hawking conjectured. [...]
