从实践者的角度看量子时空

Quantum Spacetime, from a Practitioner's Point of View

J. Ambjorn, S. Jordan, J. Jurkiewicz, R. Loll

摘要:

我们认为,量子引力理论的(因果)动态三角剖分的帮助下构建的量子时空给了我们最翔实的,定量的模型。最重要的是,这些都是从非微扰和背景无关的几何量子理论中动态推导出来的。在物理相关的四维时空情况下,因果动态三角测量的假设从一组相当少的量子场论输入中产生了一个涌现的时空,宏观上看起来像德西特宇宙,并且在普朗克尺度上具有意想不到的量子性质。重要的是在推导这些结果是一个正规化的版本的理论,其中量子动力学定义良好,可以研究的帮助下,数值蒙特卡罗方法和外推到无限晶格体积。

英文摘要:

We argue that theories of quantum gravity constructed with the help of (Causal) Dynamical Triangulations have given us the most informative, quantitative models to date of quantum spacetime. Most importantly, these are derived dynamically from nonperturbative and background-independent quantum theories of geometry. In the physically relevant case of four spacetime dimensions, the ansatz of Causal Dynamical Triangulations produces - from a fairly minimal set of quantum field-theoretic inputs - an emergent spacetime which macroscopically looks like a de Sitter universe, and on Planckian scales possesses unexpected quantum properties. Important in deriving these results are a regularized version of the theory, in which the quantum dynamics is well defined, can be studied with the help of numerical Monte Carlo methods and extrapolated to infinite lattice volumes.
