Squaring the circle: Gelb Wataghin and the prehistory of quantum gravity∗
The early history of the attempts to unify quantum theory with the general theory of relativity is depicted through the work of the Italian physicist Gleb Wataghin, who, in the context of quantum electrodynamics, has anticipated some of the ideas that the quantum gravity community is entertaining today. ∗Funding under NSF grant # SES 0951179 is gratefully acknowledged. I thank two anonymous ref...

در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...
15 صفحه اولQuantum Gravity from Quantum Computation
A theory of quantum gravity based on quantum computation is proposed. In this theory, fundamental processes are described in terms of quantum information processing: the geometry of space-time is a construct, derived from the underlying quantum computation. Explicit mechanisms are provided for the back-reaction of the metric to computational 'matter,' black-hole evaporation, holography, and qua...
متن کاملQuantum Theory from Quantum Gravity
We provide a mechanism by which, from a background independent model with no quantum mechanics, quantum theory arises in the same limit in which spatial properties appear. Starting with an arbitrary abstract graph as the microscopic model of spacetime, our ansatz is that the microscopic dynamics can be chosen so that 1) the model has a low low energy limit which reproduces the non-relativistic ...
متن کاملTowards Gravity from the Quantum
The different approaches to quantum gravity, almost all of which are described in detail in the rest of this volume, can be classified according to what they say about spacetime and gravity. First, there are the quantum field theory-like approaches (string theory, black hole thermodynamics, etc.). It is natural to push quantum field theory to its limits since it is our best theory so far. Resul...
