Description

Computational quantum field theory (CQFT) has been successful in studying the pair production of electron-positron pairs resulting from colliding laser pulses—an effect yet to be observed. It has also been successful in studying the dynamics of Klein tunneling for fermions and bosons. We extend the framework of CQFT to curved spacetimes and use it to investigate the dynamics of fermionic and bosonic pair production resulting from spacetime curvature. For illustration, we implement our CQFT framework to study the evolution of fermionic and bosonic vacuum states in a spacetime characterized by a Schwarzschild-like metric in 1+1 dimensions.
