• Title: A relativistic statistical field theory on a discretized Minkowski lattice with quantum-like observables
• Authors: Brenden McDearmon,
• Abstract summary: A relativistic statistical field theory is constructed for a fluctuating complex-valued scalar field on a discretized Minkowski lattice. A Hilbert space of observables is then constructed from functionals of the fluctuating complex-valued scalar field with an inner product defined in terms of expectation values of the functionals. A bosonic Fock space is then constructed from the Hilbert space and creation and operators that act on the Fock space are defined.

• Abstract: A relativistic statistical field theory is constructed for a fluctuating complex-valued scalar field on a discretized Minkowski lattice. A Hilbert space of observables is then constructed from functionals of the fluctuating complex-valued scalar field with an inner product defined in terms of expectation values of the functionals. A bosonic Fock space is then constructed from the Hilbert space and creation and annihilation operators that act on the Fock space are defined. The creation and annihilation operators are used to define field operators. These field operators have some interesting quantum-like properties. For example, the field operators do not commute in general and, in the particular case of the free field theory, can be shown to satisfy the microcausality condition.

  We use decompositions to construct families of quantum operations implementing measurements of the field observables. What is more, we show that these quantum operations do not lead to superluminal signaling and are possible measurements on quantum fields in the sense of Sorkin.

• From Quantum Field Theory to Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
  We construct the algebra of operators acting on the Hilbert spaces of Quantum Mechanics for systems of $N$ identical particles. We provide the explicit relation between the position and momentum operators acting in the former spaces and the field operators acting on the latter. It may not be possible to extend the procedure to interacting field theories since it relies crucially on particle number conservation.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
