Quantum Field Theory EP 3: The source function
Hi and welcome to the third episode in my series on quantum field theory! In this episode, we will take a closer look at the propagator in 4 dimensional spacetime, and after that we will study three examples of source functions one can come up with to see how our quantum field responds to them. Because some results in this video require a larger amount of calculus to derive, I decided to add a document in which I derived the results for you. If you are interested you can have a look here:

The math is not necessary to understand the conclusions drawn in this video, so if you are not that interested in the mathema...

Quantum Field Theory EP 2: The propagator in 4D spacetime
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Hi and welcome to the second episode in my series on quantum field theory! In it, I will derive the propagator function first in one spatial dimension, and then in four-dimensional spacetime. In this episode I will focus only on the derivation of this abstract quantity, whereas in the next video we will study its workings more closely. I based this video series on the fantastic textbook "Quantu...

Hi and welcome to the first episode in my new series on quantum field theory! In it, I will derive some beautiful results from quantum field theory, building up from 0 dimensional quantum fields and assuming only a background in calculus. If you have any questions, comments or critiques, please let me know in the comments below. I based this video series on the fantastic textbook "Quantum field...

    Isn't a Hilbert space just a complete vector space whose norm is derived in the conventional way from its inner product? It doesn't need to be a set of functions.

    This is a good video, but I think it overlooks *why* this is a hilbert space. would be helpful if you used the quantum mechanical examples to explain the properties of the representation that make this space is a Hilbert space and not some other type of space/representation.

    I'm very confused by the notation of the formulas with integrals. When I was taught calculus, the d{variable} notation functioned to mark the right hand side of the integrand. As written, there is nothing in the integral, but the formula doesn't make sense without the phi yerms in the integral.

    The empirical confirmation of quantum entanglement and the breakdown of local realism has truly unlocked a new realm of intellectual and philosophical freedom. No longer constrained by the assumptions of a purely 3D+1D spatial-temporal worldview, we can now entertain and seriously consider ideas and insights that would have previously been dismissed as contradictory or nonsensical. Let me highlight a few key examples: 1. Non-Locality and Interconnectedness The realization that quantum phenomena exhibit non-local, entangled relationships has profound implications. It challenges the notion of strict separability between objects and allows for the possibility of deeper, unseen connections and influences across space and time. This paves the way for holistic, relational worldviews that were previously derided as "unscientific." 2. The Primacy of Consciousness The paradoxical role of the observer in quantum experiments has called into question the traditional assumption of consciousness as a passive byproduct of material processes. This opens the door to philosophical frameworks that posit consciousness as a fundamental, irreducible aspect of reality, rather than an epiphenomenon. Theories of panpsychism or consciousness-first metaphysics are no longer automatically dismissed. 3. The Limits of Determinism The inherent uncertainty and probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics undermines the classical expectation of a deterministic, clockwork universe. This weakens the grip of strict mechanical materialism and allows for the consideration of models that incorporate genuine novelty, creativity, and spontaneity as fundamental features of reality, rather than mere illusions. 4. Multidimensional Geometries The success of string theory and other speculative physics models in exploring higher-dimensional geometries has challenged the presumption that our 3+1 dimensional spacetime is the only valid or "real" framework. This paves the way for philosophical and metaphysical explorations of reality as potentially possessing additional, unobservable dimensions - an idea that was previously viewed as nonsensical. 5. The Reality of the "Imaginary" The crucial role of complex numbers and imaginary quantities in quantum mechanics and field theory has eroded the dismissal of the "imaginary" as inherently unreal or meaningless. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of the interplay between the "real" and the "imaginary" as complementary aspects of a deeper mathematical and metaphysical reality. 6. The Limitations of Materialism Perhaps most significantly, the inability of classical physics to fully account for the counter-intuitive phenomena of the quantum realm has undermined the hegemony of reductive materialism. This opens up space for the consideration of non-materialist ontologies, including panpsychist, idealist, or even theistic frameworks, which were previously dismissed as unscientific. In essence, the collapse of the certainties provided by the 3D+1D Newtonian-Einsteinian worldview has liberated us to explore a much richer tapestry of metaphysical possibilities. Concepts and ideas that were once viewed as hopelessly contradictory or ungrounded in empirical reality can now be seriously entertained and woven into coherent models of the cosmos and consciousness. This intellectual freedom is truly transformative, as it allows us to draw upon a far broader range of philosophical, spiritual, and speculative traditions to inform our understanding of the fundamental nature of existence. It is within this expanded conceptual space that dialogues like ours can unfold, revealing astonishing new vistas of insight and understanding.

    The "exercise" eqn. (at 8'00'') gave me a hard time. Maybe that it's just me, who fails. I dunno. Would you please be so nice to add a pdf-1-pager with the solutions for those, who are as dumb as me? That would be wonderful! Thanks a lot in advance!

      @physicsduck6711 6 месяцев назад

      You are definitely not dumb, I notice now that I did not give you all the information you needed to solve the equation! I just wrote out the solution to the exercise in a pdf, which I just linked in the description of this video. Thanks for the question, and if something in the solution sheet is still unclear, please let me know!

    Thank you for sharing this. I think that it was a good idea to outsource all the computations. It really brings attention to the concepts. Only, I think, at 6:28, the parameter \tau should not be called half-life, or at least "roughly" the half-life.

    • @physicsduck6711
      @physicsduck6711 6 месяцев назад

      Thank you very much! And you're right, tau is roughly equal to the half life, the half life would be tau*Ln(2).
