Entanglement Entropy of Scalar Fields in Causal Set Theory
Kouchekzadeh Yazdi, Yasaman (University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)Entanglement entropy is now widely accepted as having deep connections with quantum gravity. It is therefore desirable to understand it in the context of causal sets, especially since they provide the UV cutoff needed to ... -
A Spacetime Approach to Defining Vacuum States and Entropy
Kouchekzadeh Yazdi, Yasaman (University of Waterloo, 2013-05-27)We apply a recent proposal for a distinguished ground state of a quantum field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime to the free massless scalar field in a causal diamond in two-dimensional Minkowski space. We investigate the ...
