On quantization of gravitational waves
... Hence, “Heisenberg’s gravitational microscope” will never be able to resolve the position of a single graviton, independently of the graviton momentum exchange. Note that this “small apparatus” objection easily translates into extensions of Heisenberg’s microscope to more complicated systems, includ ...

The energy-based stochastic extension of the Schrödinger equation is a rather special nonlinear stochastic differential equation on Hilbert space, involving a single free parameter, that has been shown to be very useful for modeling the phenomenon of quantum state reduction. Here we construct a gen ...

Quantum electrodynamics

In particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics. In essence, it describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. QED mathematically describes all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons and represents the quantum counterpart of classical electromagnetism giving a complete account of matter and light interaction.In technical terms, QED can be described as a perturbation theory of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Richard Feynman called it ""the jewel of physics"" for its extremely accurate predictions of quantities like the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the Lamb shift of the energy levels of hydrogen.
