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; ...
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 ...
