  2. S-matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix

    In physics, the S-matrix or scattering matrix is a matrix that relates the initial state and the final state of a physical system undergoing a scattering process. It is used in quantum mechanics , scattering theory and quantum field theory (QFT).

  3. S-matrix theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix_theory

    But in the guise of string theory, S-matrix theory is still a popular approach to the problem of quantum gravity. The S-matrix theory is related to the holographic principle and the AdS/CFT correspondence by a flat space limit. The analog of the S-matrix relations in AdS space is the boundary conformal theory. [1] The most lasting legacy of the ...

  4. Cluster decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_decomposition

    The S-matrix describes the amplitude for a process with an initial state evolving into a final state .If the initial and final states consist of two clusters, with and close to each other but far from the pair and , then the cluster decomposition property requires the S-matrix to factorize

  5. Quantum Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Fourier_transform

    In quantum computing, the quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is a linear transformation on quantum bits, and is the quantum analogue of the discrete Fourier transform.The quantum Fourier transform is a part of many quantum algorithms, notably Shor's algorithm for factoring and computing the discrete logarithm, the quantum phase estimation algorithm for estimating the eigenvalues of a unitary ...

  6. Correlation function (quantum field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    In quantum field theory, correlation functions, often referred to as correlators or Green's functions, are vacuum expectation values of time-ordered products of field operators. They are a key object of study in quantum field theory where they can be used to calculate various observables such as S-matrix elements.

  7. Schwinger–Dyson equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwinger–Dyson_equation

    Quantum Field Theory A Modern Perspective. Springer. There are some review article about applications of the Schwinger–Dyson equations with applications to special field of physics. For applications to Quantum Chromodynamics there are R. Alkofer and L. v.Smekal (2001). "On the infrared behaviour of QCD Green's functions". Phys. Rep. 353 (5 ...

  8. Quantum decoherence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence

    In classical scattering of a target body by environmental photons, the motion of the target body will not be changed by the scattered photons on the average. In quantum scattering, the interaction between the scattered photons and the superposed target body will cause them to be entangled, thereby delocalizing the phase coherence from the target body to the whole system, rendering the ...

  9. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    The Scattering transfer parameters or T-parameters of a 2-port network are expressed by the T-parameter matrix and are closely related to the corresponding S-parameter matrix. However, unlike S parameters, there is no simple physical means to measure the T parameters in a system, sometimes referred to as Youla waves.
