Optimisation of Thimble simulations and quantum dynamics of multiple fields in real time (2022)
Journal Article
Woodward, S., Saffin, P. M., Mou, Z. G., & Tranberg, A. (2022). Optimisation of Thimble simulations and quantum dynamics of multiple fields in real time. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(10), Article 82. https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10%282022%29082

We apply the Generalised Thimble approach to the computation of exact path integrals and correlators in real-time quantum field theory. We first investigate the details of the numerical implementation and ways of optimizing the algorithm. We subseque...

Charge-swapping Q-balls in a logarithmic potential and Affleck-Dine condensate fragmentation (2022)
Journal Article
Hou, S. Y., Saffin, P. M., Xie, Q. X., & Zhou, S. Y. (2022). Charge-swapping Q-balls in a logarithmic potential and Affleck-Dine condensate fragmentation. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(7), Article 60. https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07%282022%29060

We study charge-swapping Q-balls, a kind of composite Q-ball where positive and negative charges co-exist and swap with time, in models with a logarithmic potential that arises naturally in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. We show tha... Read More about Charge-swapping Q-balls in a logarithmic potential and Affleck-Dine condensate fragmentation.

Gravitational collapse of quantum fields and Choptuik scaling (2022)
Journal Article
Berczi, B., Saffin, P. M., & Zhou, S. (2022). Gravitational collapse of quantum fields and Choptuik scaling. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(2), Article 183. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep02%282022%29183

Gravitational collapse into a black hole has been extensively studied with classical sources. We develop a new formalism to simulate quantum fields forming a black hole. By choosing a convenient coherent state, this formalism taps into well-establish... Read More about Gravitational collapse of quantum fields and Choptuik scaling.
