Quantum interest in two dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
The quantum interest conjecture of Ford and Roman asserts that any negative-energy pulse must necessarily be followed by an over-compensating positive-energy one within a certain maximum time delay. Furthermore, the minimum amount of over-compensation increases with the separation between the pulses. In this paper, we first study the case of a negativeenergy square pulse followed by a positive-energy one for a minimally coupled, massless scalar field in two-dimensional Minkowski space. We obtain explicit expressions for the maximum time delay and the amount of over-compensation needed, using a previously developed eigenvalue approach. These results are then used to give a proof of the quantum interest conjecture for massless scalar fields in two dimensions, valid for general energy distributions.

Quantum inequalities and ‘quantum interest’ as eigenvalue problems
Quantum inequalities (QI’s) provide lower bounds on the averaged energy density of a quantum field. We show how the QI’s for massless scalar fields in even dimensional Minkowski space may be reformulated in terms of the positivity of a certain self-adjoint operator—a generalized Schrödinger operator with the energy density as the potential—and hence as an eigenvalue problem. We use this idea to...

Coherent states are the quantum states, which give the closest description to classical states. Since their superpositions show quantum properties, research on these states has been of great interest. In addition, having nonclassical properties is necessary for quantum correlations. In this paper, we focus on two-mode entangled coherent states which are out of phase, and study the nonclassical...

Conformally invariant theories in two dimensions play an important role in the study of string theories, second order phase transitions and integrable systems. The Virasoro algebra and its extensions form the cornerstone of conformal field theories. More recently a lot of attention was devoted to the study of a particular class of conformal field theories: gravity in two dimensions. As I will s...
