A Novel Application of Quantum Speed Limit to String Theory

In this work, we investigate the implications of the concept of quantum speed limit in string field theory. We adopt a novel approach to the problem of time on world-sheet based on Fisher information, and arrive at a minimum time for a particle state to evolve into another particle state. This is done using both the Mandelstam-Tamm bound and the Margolus-Levitin bound. This implies that any interaction has to be smeared over such an interval, and any interaction in the effective quantum field theory has to be non-local. As non-local quantum field theories are known to be finite, it is expected that divergences should be removed from effective quantum field theories due to the quantum speed limit of string theory.

Causality in String Field Theory

In this letter, we will investigate causality in string field theory using pp-wave light-cone gauge string field theory. We will generalize the Ramsey scheme to string field theory, and use it to analyze string field theoretical processes. An explicit characteristic function for interactive string field theory will be built using this string field theoretical Ramsey scheme. The average of the difference between the initial and final values of any operator described in string field theory will be obtained using this characteristic function. We will use the quantum information theoretical technique based on quantum fisher information to extract information about such string field theoretical processes.

Ramsey Scheme Applied to String Theoretical Processes

In this letter, we analyze the evolution of physical quantities due to the interaction of strings with background fields. We will obtain the characteristic function for such a string theoretical process. This will be done by generalizing the Ramsey scheme to world-sheet, and using it to obtain the information about the evolution of quantity in a string theoretical process, without making two-point measurements. We will also use the characteristic function to obtain the average of the difference between the initial and final values of such a quantity. Finally, using the characteristic function, we calculate fisher information for the difference of such a quantity.

Construction of Quantum Target Space from World-Sheet States using Quantum State Tomography

In this paper, we will construct the quantum states of target space coordinates from world-sheet states, using quantum state tomography. To perform quantum state tomography of an open string, we will construct suitable quadrature operators. We do this by first defining the quadrature operators in world-sheet, and then using them to construct the quantum target space quadrature operators for an open string. We will connect the quantum target space to classical geometry using coherent string states. We will be using a novel construction based on a string displacement operator to construct these coherent states. The coherent states of the world-sheet will also be used to construct the coherent states in target space.
