- Authors: Qasem Exirifard, Ebrahim Karimi
- Abstract summary: We consider relativistic quantum field theory in the presence of an external electric potential in a general curved space-time geometry.
We calculate the leading correction due to the curvature of the space-time geometry to the Schr"odinger equation.
We then compute the non-vanishing probability of excitation for a hydrogen atom that falls in or is scattered by a general Schwarzschild black hole.

- Abstract: We consider relativistic quantum field theory in the presence of an external
electric potential in a general curved space-time geometry. We utilise Fermi
coordinates adapted to the time-like geodesic to describe the low-energy
physics in the laboratory and calculate the leading correction due to the
curvature of the space-time geometry to the Schr\"odinger equation. We then
compute the non-vanishing probability of excitation for a hydrogen atom that
falls in or is scattered by a general Schwarzschild black hole. The photon that
is emitted from the excited state by spontaneous emission extracts energy from
the black hole, increases the decay rate of the black hole and adds to the
information paradox.

We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory.
It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame.
The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system.
The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

We use a driven-dissipative quantum fluid of microcavity polaritons as an analog model of a quantum field theory on a black-hole spacetime.
We show that, in addition to the Hawking effect at the sonic horizon, quantum fluctuations may result in a sizeable stationary excitation of a quasi-normal mode of the field theory.

We show that the entropy sphere associated with the underlying microstructure has to be necessarily broadened when the fine grained radiation entropy becomes maximal.
We argue that the standard thermodynamical description is valid so long the black hole viewed from outside is sufficiently large, radiation escaping into the future null infinity can be described on a smooth spacetime background, and the von Neumann entropy of Hawking radiation evolves unitarily.

It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events.
A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
