  2. Quantum field theory in curved spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory_in...

    In theoretical physics, quantum field theory in curved spacetime (QFTCS) [1] is an extension of quantum field theory from Minkowski spacetime to a general curved spacetime. This theory uses a semi-classical approach; it treats spacetime as a fixed, classical background, while giving a quantum-mechanical description of the matter and energy ...

  3. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory

    In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. [1]: xi QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles.

  4. Bogoliubov transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogoliubov_transformation

    The Bogoliubov transformation is also important for understanding the Unruh effect, Hawking radiation, Davies-Fulling radiation (moving mirror model), pairing effects in nuclear physics, and many other topics. The Bogoliubov transformation is often used to diagonalize Hamiltonians, with a corresponding transformation of the state function ...

    There are some review article about applications of the Schwinger–Dyson equations with applications to special field of physics. For applications to Quantum Chromodynamics there are R. Alkofer and L. v.Smekal (2001). "On the infrared behaviour of QCD Green's functions". Phys. Rep. 353 (5– 6): 281. arXiv: hep-ph/0007355. Bibcode:2001PhR ...

    In 2001, an 18-year-old committed to a Texas boot camp operated by one of Slattery’s previous companies, Correctional Services Corp., came down with pneumonia and pleaded to see a doctor as he struggled to breathe.

  8. Lattice field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_field_theory

    In physics, lattice field theory is the study of lattice models of quantum field theory. This involves studying field theory on a space or spacetime that has been discretised onto a lattice . Details

  9. AdS/CFT correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdS/CFT_correspondence

    In theoretical physics, the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence (frequently abbreviated as AdS/CFT) is a conjectured relationship between two kinds of physical theories. On one side are anti-de Sitter spaces (AdS) that are used in theories of quantum gravity , formulated in terms of string theory or M-theory .
