... Hermiticity of the Bogoliubov equation makes it allowable to have complex eigenvalues in general, which signifies the instability of the stationary solution. This will not happen about the ground state (lowest energy state), which is always stable. Therefore, our investigation of the Bogoliubov prob ...

Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
... The special theory of relativity postulates that all inertial reference frames are equivalent. That is, the laws of physics are symmetric under the Lorentz group, which consists of all the proper Lorentz rotations. In quantum field theory, one usually makes the additional demand that physical system ...

The physics of density matrices (Robert Helling — )
... The density matrix γ is an operator on H1 only and thus we have achieved to write the above expectation value trH1 γO1 without reference to objects relating to H2 . It is easy to check that γ is a positive operator and kΨk = 1 implies trH1 γ = 1. We find that the density matrix γ encodes all expecta ...
