Free Field Operator: Building Quantum Fields

Free Field Operator: Building Quantum Fields How Quantum Fields Evolve Without Interactions 🎯 Our Goal We aim to construct the free scalar field operator \( A(x,t) \), which describes a quantum field with no interactions—just free particles moving across space-time. 🧠 Starting Expression This is the mathematical formula for our field \( A(x,t) \): \[ A(x, t) = \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{3/2}} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} \frac{1}{\sqrt{k_0}} \left[ e^{i(k \cdot x - k_0 t)} a(k) + e^{-i(k \cdot x - k_0 t)} a^\dagger(k) \right] \, dk \] x: Spatial position t: Time k: Momentum vector k₀ = √(k² + m²): Relativistic energy of the particle a(k): Operator that removes a particle (annihilation) a†(k): Operator that adds a particle (creation) 🧩 What Does This Mean? The field is made up of wave patterns (Fourier modes) linked to momentum \( k \). It behaves like a system that decides when and where ...

Taming the Infinite: Singularities, Regularization, and Analytic Continuation Explained

Taming the Infinite: Singularities, Regularization, and Analytic Continuation Explained Matrix Space Toolkit in SageMath Taming the Infinite – How We Make Sense of "Impossible" Functions! Introduction: The Mystery of the Infinite (and Why We Care!) What happens when a function tries to break mathematics? Can we ever truly understand something that goes to infinity? These aren’t just philosophical musings. In both pure math and applied science, functions that misbehave—spiking to infinity or becoming undefined—are everywhere. And yet, they’re essential. But how do we work with something that shouldn’t be computable? Take 1/x. It's fine—until you hit x = 0, where it suddenly becomes undefined. This is what mathematicians c...

Unlocking Distribution Theory: Understanding Generalized Functions & derivatives

Unlocking Distribution Theory: Understanding Generalized Functions & Derivatives Matrix Space Toolkit in SageMath From Smooth Functions to Distributions: What Happens When You Differentiate a Functional? Introduction: More Than Just Derivatives If you've ever taken a calculus class, you know how to differentiate a function. But what if you're not differentiating a function—but a functional? Even more mind-bending: what if the object you're working with isn't even a function in the traditional sense, but a generalized function or distribution? Welcome to the magical world of distribution theory, where even the Dirac delta "function" makes perfect sense, and derivatives can be defined in a way that bypasses a...

Understanding Delta Function Approximations: Lorentzian Delta Sequence (Cauchy Kernel)

Understanding Delta Function Approximations: Lorentzian Delta Sequence Matrix Space Toolkit in SageMath Delta-Convergent Sequences — Refined Blog with SageMath Symbolics, Physics Insights, and Cleaner Code The Dirac delta function isn’t a “normal” function — it’s an idealization used to represent a point source. It's infinitely narrow, infinitely tall, and yet integrates to 1. We approximate it using delta-convergent sequences: real functions depending on a parameter that becomes increasingly peaked at zero as the parameter vanishes. This post explores the three most common delta-approximating sequences using SageMath, including plots, integration checks, and real-world meaning. Why Study These Approximations? Delta function...
