  2. Crossing (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_(physics)

    The quantum field (), corresponding to the particle is allowed to be either bosonic or fermionic. Crossing symmetry states that we can relate the amplitude of this process to the amplitude of a similar process with an outgoing antiparticle ϕ ¯ ( − p ) {\displaystyle {\bar {\phi }}(-p)} replacing the incoming particle ϕ ( p ) {\displaystyle ...

  3. Avoided crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoided_crossing

    In quantum physics and quantum chemistry, an avoided crossing (AC, sometimes called intended crossing, [1] non-crossing or anticrossing) is the phenomenon where two eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix representing a quantum observable and depending on continuous real parameters cannot become equal in value ("cross") except on a manifold of dimension . [2]

  4. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory

    In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. [ 1 ] : xi QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles .

  5. AdS/CFT correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdS/CFT_correspondence

    The application of quantum mechanics to physical objects such as the electromagnetic field, which are extended in space and time, is known as quantum field theory. [15] In particle physics , quantum field theories form the basis for our understanding of elementary particles, which are modeled as excitations in the fundamental fields.

  6. Bootstrap model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_model

    The Regge hypothesis would determine the spectrum, crossing and analyticity would determine the scattering amplitude (the forces), while unitarity would determine the self-consistent quantum corrections in a way analogous to including loops. The only fully successful implementation of the program required another assumption to organize the ...

  7. Conformal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_field_theory

    In quantum field theory, scale invariance is a common and natural symmetry, because any fixed point of the renormalization group is by definition scale invariant. Conformal symmetry is stronger than scale invariance, and one needs additional assumptions [2] to argue that it should appear in nature.

  8. On shell and off shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_shell_and_off_shell

    An example comes from considering a scalar field in D-dimensional Minkowski space.Consider a Lagrangian density given by (,).The action is = (,). The Euler–Lagrange equation for this action can be found by varying the field and its derivative and setting the variation to zero, and is:

  9. M-theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory

    The application of quantum mechanics to physical objects such as the electromagnetic field, which are extended in space and time, is known as quantum field theory. [i] In particle physics, quantum field theories form the basis for our understanding of elementary particles, which are modeled as excitations in the fundamental fields. Quantum ...
