Second Quantization Formalism

چکیده
Quantum chemists we are seldom concern with phenomena involving variations in the number of particles, so they do not need to resort to quantum field theories to lay the foundations of their work (one exception are certain spectroscopic phenomena with require a quantum description of electromagnetic radiation). The standard quantum mechanic theory for material particles is then a sufficient basis for their purposes.

Hamiltonian quantization of effective Lagrangians with massive vector fields.
Effective Lagrangians containing arbitrary interactions of massive vector fields are quantized within the Hamiltonian path integral formalism. It is proven that correct Hamiltonian quantization of these models yields the same result as naive Lagrangian quantization (Matthews’s theorem). This theorem holds for models without gauge freedom as well as for (linearly or nonlinearly realized) spontan...
متن کاملExploring the second class constraint quantization approach proposed by Batalin and Marnelius
I extend upon the paper by Batalin and Marnelius, in which they show how to construct and quantize a gauge theory from a Hamiltonian system with second class constraints. Among the avenues explored, their technique is analyzed in relation to other well-known methods of quantization and a bracket is defined, such that the operator formalism can be fully developed. I also extend to systems with m...
متن کاملSecond-Quantization Formalism for Geminals
A method of constructing second-quantization formalism on a set of orthonormal geminals (two-particle antisymmetric functions) is described. Instead of using an initial set of creation and annihilation operators with nontrivial commutation rules, the so-. -called ideal creation and annihilation operators, satisfying elementary Bose commutation rules, are used. The resulting Hamiltonian and an a...
متن کاملHartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham time-dependent response theory in a second-quantization atomic-orbital formalism suitable for linear scaling.
We present a second-quantization based atomic-orbital method for the computation of time-dependent response functions within Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density-functional theories. The method is suited for linear scaling. Illustrative results are presented for excitation energies, one- and two-photon transition moments, polarizabilities, and hyperpolarizabilities for hexagonal BN sheets with up...
متن کاملElectromagnetic field quantization in nonlinear and inhomogeneous dielectrics ∗
The electromagnetic field is quantized in nonlinear media whose dielectric functions and nonlinear susceptibilities may vary with space. Given the dielectric function and nonlinear susceptibilities, the Hamiltonian of the electromagnetic field is determined completely by this quantization method. From Heisenberg equations we prove that Maxwell’s equations are satisfied for the field operators. ...
متن کاملA New Approach to Scalar Field Theory on Noncommutative Space
A new approach to constructing the noncommutative scalar field theory is presented. Not only between x̂i and p̂j, we impose commutation relations between x̂is as well as p̂js, and give a new representation of x̂i, p̂js. We carry out both firstand second-quantization explicitly. The second-quantization is performed in both the operator formalism and the functional integral one. e-mail: [email protected]...
