Simple Quantum Systems in Spacetimes with Closed Timelike Curves
H. David Politzer
Abstract
Three simple examples illustrate properties of path integral amplitudes in fixed background spacetimes with closed timelike curves: non-relativistic potential scattering in the Born approximation is non-unitary, but both an example with hard spheres and the exact solution of a totally discrete model are unitary.
