  2. Bubble chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_chart

    Unlike a traditional bubble chart, such displays don't assign meaning to x- or y-axis positions, but seek to pack circles as tightly as possible to make efficient use of space. These bubble charts were introduced by Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg [6] and have since become a popular method

  3. Correlation function (quantum field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    A diagrammatic way to represent the resulting sum is via Feynman diagrams, where each term can be evaluated using the position space Feynman rules. A connected Feynman diagram which contributes to the connected six-point correlation function.

  4. Random phase approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_phase_approximation

    Bubble diagrams, which result in the RPA when summed up. Solid lines stand for interacting or non-interacting Green's functions, dashed lines for two-particle interactions. The random phase approximation (RPA) is an approximation method in condensed matter physics and nuclear physics.

  5. Quartic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_interaction

    At a given order λ k, all diagrams with n external lines and k vertices are constructed such that the momenta flowing into each vertex is zero. Each internal line is represented by a factor 1/(q 2 + m 2), where q is the momentum flowing through that line. Any unconstrained momenta are integrated over all values.

  6. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The Standard Model hypothesises a field called the Higgs field (symbol: ϕ), which has the unusual property of a non-zero amplitude in its ground state (zero-point) energy after renormalization; i.e., a non-zero vacuum expectation value. It can have this effect because of its unusual "Mexican hat" shaped potential whose lowest "point" is not at ...

  7. Quantum foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_foam

    Quantum foam (or spacetime foam, or spacetime bubble) is a theoretical quantum fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The theory predicts that at this small scale, particles of matter and antimatter are constantly created and destroyed.

  8. Tadpole (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Tadpole corrections are needed if the corresponding external field has a non-zero vacuum expectation value, such as the Higgs field. [1] Tadpole diagrams were first used in the 1960s. An early example was published by Abdus Salam in 1961, though he did not take credit for the name. [2]

  9. Quantum vacuum state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_vacuum_state

    The video of an experiment showing vacuum fluctuations (in the red ring) amplified by spontaneous parametric down-conversion.. If the quantum field theory can be accurately described through perturbation theory, then the properties of the vacuum are analogous to the properties of the ground state of a quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, or more accurately, the ground state of a measurement ...
