英文摘要：

Recently it has been proposed, using the formalism of positive-operator-valued measures, a possible definition of quantum coordinates for events in the context of quantum mechanics. In this short note we analyze this definition from the point of view of local algebras in the framework of local quantum theories.

On the Quantum Space-Time Coordinates of an Event

This paper gives a representation of the most general positive operator valued measure in Minkowski space-time, covariant with respect to the Poincare' group. It provides the correct mathematical description of the space-time coordinates of a quantum event, described by a quantum object with suitable properties. It is known that these coordinates cannot be represented by self-adjoint operators or by the corresponding projection valued measure.

Localization of Events in Space-Time

The present paper deals with the quantum coordinates of an event in space-time, individuated by a quantum object. It is known that these observables cannot be described by self-adjoint operators or by the corresponding spectral projection-valued measure. We describe them by means of a positive-operator-valued (POV) measure in the Minkowski space-time, satisfying a suitable covariance condition with respect to the Poincare' group. This POV measure determines the probability that a measurement of the coordinates of the event gives results belonging to a given set in space-time. We show that this…

Variance of the Quantum Coordinates of an Event

We study the variances of the coordinates of an event considered as quantum observables in a Poincare' covariant theory. The starting point is their description in terms of a covariant positive-operator-valued measure on the Minkowski space-time. Besides the usual uncertainty relations, we find stronger inequalities involving the mass and the centre-of-mass angular momentum of the object that defines the event. We suggest that these inequalities may help to clarify some of the arguments which have been given in favour of a gravitational quantum limit to the accuracy of time and space measureme…

Trans-Coordinate Physics

Standard practice attempts to remove coordinate influence in physics through the use of invariant equations. Trans-coordinate physics proceeds differently by not introducing space-time coordinates in the first place. Differentials taken from a novel limiting process are defined for a particle's wave function, allowing the particle's dynamic principle to operate locally without the use of coordinates. These differentials replace the covariant differentials of Riemannian geometry. With coordinates out of the way regional conservation principles and the Einstein field equation are no longer funda…

Hawking radiation from a collapsing dust sphere and its back reaction at the event horizon -Weak value approach-

To see the back reaction of the Hawking radiation in a dynamical spacetime of the spherical gravitational collapse, we explicitly calculate the weak value of the energy-momentum tensor of the massless scalar field. The background geometry of a collapsing dust sphere is specified by using the Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates, in which the time coordinate coincides with the proper time of a free-falling observer and the metric tensor is regular at the event horizon. The result is that in the remote future the weak value diverges at the event horizon. We argue that since the semi-classical approxi…

Quantum mechanical path integrals and thermal radiation in static curved spacetimes

The propagator of a spinless particle is calculated from the quantum mechanical path integral formalism in static curved spacetimes endowed with event-horizons. A toy model, the Gui spacetime, and the 2D and 4D Schwarzschild black holes are considered. The role of the topology of the coordinates configuration space is emphasised in this framework. To cover entirely the above spacetimes with a single set of coordinates, tortoise coordinates are extended to complex values. It is shown that the homotopic properties of the complex tortoise configuration space imply the thermal behaviour of the pro…

Complexified quantum and classical mechanics

The anti self-adjoint operators of coordinate and momentum are introduced and applied in discussion of tunneling through the potential barrier where imaginary value of momentum unavoidably appears. Tunneling through temporal barrier is proceeded in a similar way and it is shown that the quantum system can tunnel, while the classical systems are destroyed by such barrier. The imaginary observables of coordinate and momentum are used in a novel treatment of passage through the event horizon. By considering the event horizon as the border of the finite potential barrier, it is found that there is…
