متن کاملCreation and Annihilation Operators
Creation and annihilation operators are used in many-body quantum physics because they provide a less awkward notation than symmetrized or antisymmetrized wave functions, and a convenient language for perturbation theory, etc. These notes are not intended to give anything but an introduction. For a much more extended discussion see books on many-body theory, such as Fetter and Walecka, Quantum ...
متن کاملOne-particle irreducibility with initial correlations
In quantum field theory (QFT), the vacuum expectation value of a normal product of creation and annihilation operators is always zero. This simple property paves the way to the classical treatment of perturbative QFT. This is no longer the case in the presence of initial correlations, that is if the vacuum is replaced by a general state. As a consequence, the combinatorics of correlated systems...
متن کاملMany-body Scattering Theory of Electronic Systems
This work reviews recent advances in the analytical treatment of the continuum spectrum of correlated few-body non-relativistic Coulomb systems. The exactly solvable two-body problem serves as an introduction to the non-separable three-particle system. For the latter case we discuss the existence of an approximate separability of the long and the short-range dynamics which is exposed in an appr...
