Aspects of Quantum Field Theory with Boundary Conditions
(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; ... -
Cosmic Atoms: from Causal Sets to Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-19)This thesis is a collection of works which seek to address certain aspects of the following puzzles: quantum gravity, initial conditions of the universe, the cosmological constant problem, and baryonic processes in clusters ... -
Experimental prospects for detecting the quantum nature of spacetime
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-21)This thesis is concerned with advancing the confrontation between relativistic quantum information (RQI) and experiment. We investigate the lessons that some present-day experiments can teach us about the relationship ...
