论文摘要
我们回顾了如何对空间和时间进行修复,即两者都依赖另一个参数的过程,可用于以自然有利于相对论的方式制定量子物理。这使我们获得了量子动力学的第二个定量公式,其中时空的不同点代表不同的模式。我们推测我们的公式可用于在时空中建模动力学,就像一个模型通过固态物理学中的晶格传播电子的方式一样。我们对此对模式纠缠概念以及对宇宙波函数的完全相对论的页面驱动器的公式进行评论。
We review how reparametrization of space and time, namely the procedure where both are made to depend on yet another parameter, can be used to formulate quantum physics in a way that is naturally conducive to relativity. This leads us to a second quantised formulation of quantum dynamics in which different points of spacetime represent different modes. We speculate on the fact that our formulation can be used to model dynamics in spacetime the same way that one models propagation of an electron through a crystal lattice in solid state physics. We comment on the implications of this for the notion of mode entanglement as well as for the fully relativistic Page-Wootters formulation of the wavefunction of the Universe.
