Quantum Gravity in Large Dimensions
Quantum gravity is investigated in the limit of a large number of space-time dimensions, using as an ultraviolet regularization the simplicial lattice path integral formulation. In the weak field limit the appropriate expansion parameter is determined to be 1/d. For the case of a simplicial lattice dual to a hypercube, the critical point is found at kc/λ = 1/d (with k = 1/8πG) separating a weak...
متن کاملLarge “Dipolar” Vacuum Fluctuations in Quantum Gravity
We study a novel set of gravitational field configurations, called “dipolar zero modes”, which give an exactly null contribution to the Einstein action and are thus candidates to become large fluctuations in the quantized theory. They are generated by static unphysical sources satisfying (up to terms of order G) the simple condition ∫ dxT00(x) = 0. We give two explicit examples of virtual sourc...
متن کاملLarge quantum gravity effects and nonlocal variables
An interesting effect found recently, that points out to potential problems and/or surprises that could be found in quantum gravity, is the presence, in the quantization of certain midisuperspaces, of what has been called “large quantum gravity effects” (LE). In the original analysis of Ashtekar [1], the model chosen is rotationally symmetric 2+1 gravity coupled to a massless scalar field (a sp...
متن کاملExponentially enhanced quantum metrology.
We show that when a suitable entanglement-generating unitary operator depending on a parameter is applied on N qubits in parallel, a precision of the order of 2(-N) in estimating the parameter may be achieved. This exponentially improves the precision achievable in classical and in quantum nonentangling strategies.
متن کاملQuantum Probabilities as Behavioral Probabilities
We demonstrate that behavioral probabilities of human decision makers share many common features with quantum probabilities. This does not imply that humans are some quantum objects, but just shows that the mathematics of quantum theory is applicable to the description of human decision making. The applicability of quantum rules for describing decision making is connected with the nontrivial pr...
