We present a nonperturbative, first-principles numerical approach for time-dependent problems in the framework of quantum field theory. In this approach the time evolution of quantum field systems is treated in real time and at the amplitude level. As a test application, we apply this method to QED and study photon emission from an electron in a strong, time-dependent external field. Coherent superposition of electron acceleration and photon emission is observed in the nonperturbative regime.

We introduce a nonperturbative, first-principles approach to time-dependent problems in quantum field theory. In this approach, the time-evolution of quantum field configurations is calculated in real time and at the amplitude level. This method is particularly suitable for treating systems interacting with a time-dependent background field. As a test problem, we apply this approach to QED and study electron acceleration and the associated photon emission in a time- and space-dependent electromagnetic background field.
In this thesis we investigate some aspects of quantum field theories from a holographic perspective. In the first chapters we examine in detail a one-paremeter family of three-dimensional gauge theories by means of their type IIA gravity duals. We analyse features such as their confinement nature, spectrum, entanglement properties or thermal phase transitions. This family interpolates between quasi-conformal and quasi-confining physics. In the last two chapters, we use bottom-up models to study complex conformal field theories and transport properties of dense QCD respectively.
Chiral Effective Field Theory ($chi$EFT) has been extensively used to study the $NN$ interaction during the last three decades. In Effective Field Theories (EFTs) the renormalization is performed order by order including the necessary counter terms. Due to the strong character of the $NN$ interaction a non-perturbative resummation is needed. In this work we will review some of the methods proposed to completely remove cutoff dependencies. The methods covered are renormalization with boundary conditions, renormalization with one counter term in momentum space (or equivalently substractive renormalization) and the exact $N/D$ method. The equivalence between the methods up to one renormalization condition will be checked showing results in the $NN$ system. The exact $N/D$ method allows to go beyond the others, and using a toy model it is shown how it can renormalize singular repulsive interactions.
Couplings of a system to other degrees of freedom (that is, environmental degrees of freedom) lead to energy dissipation when the number of environmental degrees of freedom is large enough. Here we discuss quantal treatments for such energy dissipation. To this end, we discuss two different time-dependent methods. One is to introduce an effective time-dependent Hamiltonian, which leads to a classical equation of motion as a relationship among expectation values of quantum operators. We apply this method to a heavy-ion fusion reaction and discuss the role of dissipation on the penetrability of the Coulomb barrier. The other method is to start with a Hamiltonian with environmental degrees of freedom and derive an equation which the system degree of freedom obeys. For this, we present a new efficient method to solve coupled-channels equations, which can be easily applied even when the dimension of the coupled-channels equations is huge.
Deep Inelastic Scattering and Drell-Yan experiments have measured a light flavor asymmetry in the proton sea. The excess of dbar over ubar quarks can be understood in many models, but the ratio dbar(x)/ubar(x) measured by Fermilab E866 has not been successfully described. Fermilab E-906 will probe the kinematic dependence of this ratio with better resolution and extend it to higher x. We have developed a hybrid model that includes both perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the proton sea. A meson cloud formalism is used to represent the non-perturbative fluctuation of the proton into meson-baryon states. We include perturbative processes by using a statistical model that uses Fock states of quarks, antiquarks and gluons to represent the parton distributions of the bare hadrons in the meson cloud. We compare our results to the E866 data.
