On momentum operator in quantum field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The interrelations between the two definitions of momentum operator, via the canonical energy-momentum tensorial operator and as translation operator (on the operator space), are studied in quantum field theory. These definitions give rise to similar but, generally, different momentum operators, each of them having its own place in the theory. Some speculations on the relations between quantum field theory and quantum mechanics are presented. Bozhidar Z. Iliev: Momentum operator in quantum field theory 1

On angular momentum operator in quantum field theory
Relations between two definitions of (total) angular momentum operator, as a generator of rotations and in the Lagrangian formalism, are explored in quantum field theory. Generally, these definitions result in different angular momentum operators, which are suitable for different purposes in the theory. From the spin and orbital angular momentum operators (in the Lagrangian formalism) are extra...
متن کاملQuantum field theory of photons with orbital angular momentum
A quantum-field-theory approach is put forward to generalize the concept of classical spatial light beams carrying orbital angular momentum to the single-photon level. This quantization framework is carried out both in the paraxial and nonparaxial regimes. Upon extension to the optical phase space, closed-form expressions are found for a photon Wigner representation describing transformations o...
متن کاملPoint-Form Quantum Field Theory and Meson Form Factors
Recently we have reconsidered the quantization of relativistic field theories on a Lorentz-invariant surface of the form xμx μ = τ [1]. With this choice of the quantization surface all components of the 4-momentum operator become interaction dependent, whereas the generators of Lorentz transformations stay free of interactions – a feature characteristic for Dirac’s “point form” of relativistic ...
متن کاملPoint-form quantum field theory
We examine canonical quantization of relativistic field theories on the forward hyperboloid, a Lorentz-invariant surface of the form xμx μ = τ2. This choice of quantization surface implies that all components of the 4-momentum operator are affected by interactions (if present), whereas rotation and boost generators remain interaction free – a feature characteristic of Dirac’s “point-form”of rel...
متن کاملNumerical object oriented quantum field theory calculations
The qft++ package is a library of C++ classes that facilitate numerical (not algebraic) quantum field theory calculations. Mathematical objects such as matrices, tensors, Dirac spinors, polarization and orbital angular momentum tensors, etc. are represented as C++ objects in qft++. The package permits construction of code which closely resembles quantum field theory expressions, allowing for qu...
