Canonical field quantization in momentum space and quantum space-time

TL;DR

This paper introduces accelerated quantum fields that encode acceleration directly into quantum fields, offering a novel approach to quantize space-time similarly to how energy and momentum are quantized in standard quantum field theories.

Contribution

It presents a new class of quantum fields that incorporate acceleration, enabling a consistent quantization of space-time within the quantum field theory framework.

Findings

Accelerated quantum fields provide a new way to encode acceleration.

They enable a consistent quantization of space-time.

The approach parallels standard quantization of energy and momentum.

Abstract

We propose a way to encode acceleration directly into quantum fields, establishing a new class of fields. Accelerated quantum fields, as we have named them, have some very interesting properties. The most important is that they provide a mathematically consistent way to quantize space-time in the same way that energy and momentum are quantized in standard quantum field theories.
