Aspects of Quantum Field Theory with Boundary Conditions

Tjoa, Erickson (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-02)

This thesis has two modest goals. The primary goal is to deliver three results involving particle detectors interacting with a quantum field in presence of non-trivial boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, periodic; ...
Coherent delocalization in the light-matter interaction

Stritzelberger, Nadine (University of Waterloo, 2020-10-08)

In this thesis, we study coherent delocalization in the light-matter interaction: we investigate how the coherent center of mass delocalization of a first quantized system affects its interaction with a second quantized ...
What can detectors detect?

Henderson, Laura (University of Waterloo, 2021-01-29)

This thesis is focused on using a pair of Unruh-DeWitt detectors, which interact locally with a quantum field, to gain information about properties of the field and the underlying spacetime. First, we consider a massless ...
