Vacuum decay in quantum field theory
We study the contribution to vacuum decay in field theory due to the interaction between the longand short-wavelength modes of the field. The field model considered consists of a scalar field of mass M with a cubic term in the potential. The dynamics of the long-wavelength modes becomes diffusive in this interaction. The diffusive behavior is described by the reduced Wigner function that charac...
متن کاملNumerical object oriented quantum field theory calculations
The qft++ package is a library of C++ classes that facilitate numerical (not algebraic) quantum field theory calculations. Mathematical objects such as matrices, tensors, Dirac spinors, polarization and orbital angular momentum tensors, etc. are represented as C++ objects in qft++. The package permits construction of code which closely resembles quantum field theory expressions, allowing for qu...
متن کاملDissipation, noise, and vacuum decay in quantum field theory.
We study the process of vacuum decay in quantum field theory focusing on the stochastic aspects of the interaction between long- and short-wavelength modes. This interaction results in a diffusive behavior of the reduced Wigner function describing the state of long-wavelength modes, and thereby to a finite activation rate even at zero temperature. This effect can make a substantial contribution...
متن کاملDecay of Scalar Condensation in Quantum Field Theory
We consider decay processes of scalar-field condensation in the framework of wellestablished quantum field theory. We postulate that the quantum state corresponding to the scalar-field condensation is so-called coherent state with discussing the validity of such a treatment. We show that, by using the unitarity relation of the scattering matrix, decay rate of the coherent state is systematicall...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo calculations with chiral effective field theory interactions.
We present the first quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations with chiral effective field theory (EFT) interactions. To achieve this, we remove all sources of nonlocality, which hamper the inclusion in QMC calculations, in nuclear forces to next-to-next-to-leading order. We perform auxiliary-field diffusion Monte Carlo (AFDMC) calculations for the neutron matter energy up to saturation density ba...
