AbstractPhenomenological models have recently been explored for the analysis of possible effects in quantum systems due to a superposition of geometries, including the occurrence of processes with indefinite order. In particular, in a gravitational quantum switch, the order of operations applied by two agents on a target system is entangled with the state of the geometry. We consider a model describing the superposition of geometries produced by distinct arrangements of spherical mass shells, and show that a protocol for the implementation of a gravitational quantum switch can be formulated in such a system. 

"Bridging the Gap Between QFT and Cosmology"| Colóquio do DFMA

Data: 
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025 - 16:30 to 18:00
Palestrante: 
Dr. Henrique Rubira (LMU München, Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge)
Resumo: 

AbstractMajor improvements in the theoretical aspects of Cosmology have been possible in recent years due to QFT-inspired methods, such as the effective field theory of large-scale structure (EFTofLSS). In this talk, I will discuss novel two-loop results. I will also explore further connections between high-energy physics and cosmology. I will present a systematic approach to renormalizing the galaxy bias parameters using path integrals and a finite cutoff scale Λ. I will derive the differential equations of the Wilson-Polchinski renormalization group that describe the evolution of the finite-scale bias parameters with Λ, analogous to the β-function running in QFT.
