Multi-time version of the Landau-Peierls formulation of quantum electrodynamics
M Lienert, R Tumulka - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.04535, 2024 - arxiv.org
Landau and Peierls wrote down the Hamiltonian of a simplified version of quantum
electrodynamics in the particle-position representation. We present a multi-time version of …

Positron position operators. I. A natural option
R Tumulka - Annals of Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
By “position operators,” we mean here a POVM (positive-operator-valued measure) on a
suitable configuration space acting on a suitable Hilbert space that serves as defining the …

Quantum particle localization observables on Cauchy surfaces of Minkowski spacetime and their causal properties
C De Rosa, V Moretti - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2024 - Springer
We introduce and study a general notion of spatial localization on spacelike smooth Cauchy
surfaces of quantum systems in Minkowski spacetime. The notion is constructed in terms of a …

On the Problem of Defining Charge Operators for the Dirac Quantum Field
It is well known how to define the operator $ Q $ for the total charge (ie, positron number
minus electron number) on the standard Hilbert space of the second-quantized Dirac …

Towards a probabilistic foundation of relativistic quantum theory: the one-body Born rule in curved spacetime
In this work, we establish a novel approach to the foundations of relativistic quantum theory,
which is based on generalizing the quantum-mechanical Born rule for determining particle …

Boundary conditions that remove certain ultraviolet divergences
R Tumulka - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
In quantum field theory, Hamiltonians contain particle creation and annihilation terms that
are usually ultraviolet (UV) divergent. It is well known that these divergences can sometimes …

Relativity
R Tumulka - Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, 2022 - Springer
After a brief introduction to special relativity, we derive the Klein-Gordon equation, Weyl
equation, and Dirac equation as relativistic Schrödinger equations. We discuss their …
