Algebraic Quantum Field Theory∗
Algebraic quantum field theory provides a general, mathematically precise description of the structure of quantum field theories, and then draws out consequences of this structure by means of various mathematical tools — the theory of operator algebras, category theory, etc.. Given the rigor and generality of AQFT, it is a particularly apt tool for studying the foundations of QFT. This paper is...
متن کاملAlgebraic Quantum Field Theory: A Status Report
Algebraic quantum field theory is an approach to relativistic quantum physics, notably the theory of elementary particles, which complements other modern developments in this field. It is particularly powerful for structural analysis but has also proven to be useful in the rigorous treatment of models. In this contribution a non–technical survey is given with emphasis on interesting recent deve...
متن کاملVIEWPOINT A Solid Footing for a Quantum
Q uantum secure communication relies on sharing of entangled states between parties. Over short distances (less than 100 km), these states can be distributed by sending photons over optical fibers, but losses in those fibers limit long-distance sharing. One solution is to use a sequence of “quantum repeaters” along the optical fiber connection [1]. These devices can store the quantum informatio...
متن کاملTowards an Ontology for Quantum Field Theory
The recent work of P. Teller and S. Auyang in the philosophy of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) has stimulated the search for the fundamental entities of that theory. In QFT, the classical notion of a particle collapses. The theory does not only forbid classical, i.e. spatiotemporally identifiable particles, but it makes particles of the same type conceptually indistinguishable. Teller and Auyang ha...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory, Grassmannians, and Algebraic Curves
This paper is devoted in part to clarifying some aspects of the relation between quantum field theory and infinite Grassmannians, and in part to pointing out the existence of a close analogy between conformal field theory on Riemann surfaces and the modern theory of automorphic representations. Along the way we develop a multiplicative analog of the usual additive Ward identities of current alg...
