Rick Perche View PDF Abstract:This is an updated version of my PhD thesis, defended at the University of Waterloo on the 2nd of April 2025, uploaded to the ArXiv with the goal of reaching a wider audience. The thesis is divided into 5 chapters, respectively containing (I) a brief introduction to local quantum field theory (QFT), (II) a description of local probes in QFT, (III) a discussion of entanglement in QFT and how to probe it, (IV) a description of the regimes where QFT interactions can be approximated by direct interactions, and (V) a discussion the information about the geometry of spacetime contained in quantum fields. The partial goal of this thesis is to serve as a guide for students aiming to tackle these different research programs. If the reader is interested in pursuing one or more research projects detailed here, they are encouraged to contact me for collaboration in these topics.
