Topological quantum field theory
... Great caution has of course to be used in such infinite-dimensional situations but, taking one's cue from physics on the one hand and topology on the other hand, it is possible to make intelligent guesses and conjectures. There is now ample evidence in favour of many of these conjectures, a number o ...

... We show in Fig. 1 the classical and quantum evolution of the Wigner function for the Hamiltonian p’ when the initial state is a vacuum coherent state (a Gaussian centered at the origin of the phase plane). After pJ evolution, the resulting state is no longer a Gaussian, but is represented by a hill ...

Quantum electrodynamics

In particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics. In essence, it describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. QED mathematically describes all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons and represents the quantum counterpart of classical electromagnetism giving a complete account of matter and light interaction.In technical terms, QED can be described as a perturbation theory of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Richard Feynman called it ""the jewel of physics"" for its extremely accurate predictions of quantities like the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the Lamb shift of the energy levels of hydrogen.
