Quantum Physics

We present a method for determining the maximum possible violation of any linear Bell inequality per quantum mechanics. Essentially this amounts to a constrained optimization problem for an observable’s eigenvalues, but the problem can be reformulated so as to be analytically tractable. This opens the door for an arbitrarily precise characterization of quantum correlations, including allowing for non-random marginal expectation values. Such a characterization is critical when contrasting QM to superficially similar general probabilistic theories. We use such marginal-involving quantum bounds to estimate the volume of all possible quantum statistics in the complete 8-dimensional probability space of the Bell-CHSH scenario, measured relative to both local hidden variable models as well as general no-signaling theories. See arXiv:1106.2169. Time permitting, we’ll also discuss how one might go about trying to prove that a given mixed state is, in fact, not entangled. (The converse problem of certifying non-zero entanglement has received extensive treatment already.) Instead of directly asking if any separable representation exists for the state, we suggest simply checking to see if it “fits” some particular known-separable form. We demonstrate how a surprisingly valuable sufficient separability criterion follows merely from considering a highly-generic separable form. The criterion we generate for diagonally-symmetric mixed states is apparently completely tight, necessary and sufficient. We use integration to quantify the “volume” of states captured by our criterion, and show that it is as large as the volume of states associated with the PPT criterion; this simultaneously proves our criterion to be necessary as well as the PPT criterion to be sufficient, on this family of states. The utility of a sufficient separability criterion is evidenced by categorically rejecting Dicke-model superradiance for entanglement generation schema. See arXiv:1307.5779.

High Energy Physics

Progress in calculating S matrix elements have shown that the malicious redundancies in non-linear gauge theories can be circumvented by utilizing unitarity methods in conjunction with BCFW recursion relations. When calculating in this fashion all of the interaction vertices beyond the three point function can be ignored. This simplification is especially useful in gravity which contains an infinite number of such non-linear interactions. It is natural to ask whether off-shell quantities, such as classical solutions, can also be generated using only the three point vertex. In this talk I will show that this is indeed the case by extracting classical solutions to GR from on-hell two to two scattering S-matrix elements. In so doing we will completely circumvent the action as well as the equations of motion. The only inputs will be Lorentz invariance, the existence of a massless spin-two particle and locality. Because of the double copy relation this implies there exists, a yet to be understood, connection between solutions to Yang-Mills theory and Gravity. I will also discuss how this technique can be used to simplify calculations of higher order post-Newtonian corrections to gravitational potentials relevant to the problem of binary inspirals.

I will present Cosmological FRW Solutions in BiGravity Theories and discuss their stability. After deriving the stability bound, one realizes that in Bigravity (in contradistinction to the FRW massive gravity case) the tension between requirements stemming from stability and those set by observations is resolved. The stability bound can also be derived in the decoupling limit of Bigravity. In this context an intriguing duality between Galilean interactions has emerged.
