چکیده
Acknowledgments It is a great pleasure to thank all those who have contributed to this thesis. A great many thanks are due to H.-D. Doebner for innumerable, invaluable and elucidating conversations. I am indebted to D. Mayer for helpful suggestions in the early stages of the work reported here. I am greatly obliged to W. L ucke and P. Nattermann whose readiness to help in scientiic as well as other matters is highly appreciated. In particular their patient assistance with Linux (W.L.) and L A T E X (P.N.) has been most helpful. Many thanks also to C. Rohloff for his skillful help with some of the graphics. Matthias and Sebastian are to be thanked for their patience, understanding, and the sheer joy they provide. Most of all I would like to thank my wife and dearest friend Maria-Eugenia whose omnipresent support, unfailing encouragement, and deep and aaectionate friendship during all those years were the most important contributions.

Group Averaging of massless scalar fields in 1 + 1 de Sitter
Perturbative gravity in global de Sitter space is subject to so-called linearization stability constraints: If they are to couple consistently to the gravitational field, quantum states must be invariant under the de Sitter isometries. While standard Fock spaces contain no de Sitter-invariant states apart from (possibly) the vacuum, a full Hilbert space of de Sitter-invariant quantum states can...
متن کاملComputer Simulations of Mulljple-Quantum NMR Experiments. II. Selective Excitation
The effects of selective multiplequantum pulse sequences have previously been analyzed by coherent averaging theory. However, convergence of the Magnus expansion used for those calculations is questionable in the experimentally important region of long cycle times. Exact density matrix evolutions arc calculated here to show when the coherent averaging calculations will be reliable. In addition,...
متن کاملCoherent Quantum Processes in Thermal and Nonequilibrium Environments
In this article, we describe recent work on investigating the role of the environment in influencing coherent quantum dynamics. We review numerical methodology based on a semiclassical limit of the quantum Liouville equation for simulating quantum coherent processes using classical-like molecular dynamics simulation and ensemble averaging and apply the approach to simulate vibrational dephasing...
متن کاملQuantum states of hierarchic systems
The density matrix formalism which is widely used in the theory of measurements , quantum computing, quantum description of chemical and biological systems always imply the averaging over all states of the environment. In practice this is impossible because the environment of the system is the complement of this system to the whole Universe and contains infinitely many degrees of freedom. A nov...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 1 MASS FROM GAUGE AVERAGING IN FIELD THEORY
In the path-integral formulation of gauge theories the gauge-averaging functional may be chosen to be of non-local nature, and this leads to a non-local formalism, with invertible integro-differential operators on field perturbations. This paper derives the form of integral kernels in the gauge-averaging functional (both local and non-local) for which a mass term is obtained in the one-loop sem...
متن کاملOn the Dynamical Interpretation for the Quantum-Measurement Projection Postulate
An apparatus model with discrete momentum space suitable for the exact solution of the problem is considered. The special Hamiltonian of its interaction with the object system under consideration is chosen. In this simple case it is easy to illustrate how difficulties in constructing the dynamical interpretation of selective collapse could be overcome without any limiting procedure. For this pu...
