A detector-based measurement theory for quantum field theory

J Polo-Gómez, LJ Garay, E Martín-Martínez - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We propose a measurement theory for quantum fields based on measurements made with
localized nonrelativistic systems that couple covariantly to quantum fields (like the Unruh …

Note on episodes in the history of modeling measurements in local spacetime regions using QFT

D Fraser, M Papageorgiou - The European Physical Journal H, 2023 - Springer
The formulation of a measurement theory for relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) has
recently been an active area of research. In contrast to the asymptotic measurement …

Quantum delocalization, gauge, and quantum optics: Light-matter interaction in relativistic quantum information

R Lopp, E Martín-Martínez - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS

quantum particles) with the quantum electromagnetic field, pointing out the subtleties related …

When entanglement harvesting is not really harvesting

E Tjoa, E Martín-Martínez - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
