The particle on a ring in polymer quantum mechanics : a quantum cosmology analogue on a compact space

Creator:

Siebersma, Maxwell R.

Abstract:

Loop quantum gravity is a framework for quantizing general relativity which imposes a discrete structure on space. In exploring the structure of loop quantum gravity, researchers have investigated loop quantum cosmology, a toy model with reduced degrees of freedom while maintaining a discrete space. Polymer quantum mechanics is a framework...
