• Abstract: The relativistic dynamics of bound states across inertial reference frames are investigated using the computational quantum field theory (CQFT). The results reveal that the spatiotemporal properties of bound states within a given potential well are strictly frame-dependent. Crucially, this spatiotemporal modulation of the external field enables a reduction in the laser intensity threshold required for vacuum electron-positron pair creation. Analytical and numerical calculations demonstrate that this threshold reduction originates from the Lorentz transformation of the four-momentum, which reshapes the vacuum excitation pathways in phase space. By developing CQFT, we establish a comprehensive framework in which relativistic effects intrinsically govern the quantum vacuum decay process

• The role of boundary conditions in quantum computations of scattering observables [58.720142291102135]
  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
