Wave function renormalization

In quantum field theory wave function renormalization is a rescaling (or renormalization) of quantum fields to take into account the effects of interactions. For a noninteracting or free field the field operator creates or annihilates a single particle with probability 1. Once interactions are included, however, this probability is modified in general to Z 1. This appears when one calculates the propagator beyond leading order; e.g. for a scalar field, (The shift of the mass from m0 to m constitutes the mass renormalization.) One possible wave function renormalization, which happens to be scale independent, is to rescale the fields so that the (Z in the formula above) of their quanta is 1. For the purposes of studying renormalization group flows, if the coefficient of the kinetic term in the action at the scale Λ is Z, then the field is rescaled by . A scale dependent wave function renormalization for a field means that that field has an anomalous scaling dimension. (Wikipedia).

Wavelets: a mathematical microscope

Wavelet transform is an invaluable tool in signal processing, which has applications in a variety of fields - from hydrodynamics to neuroscience. This revolutionary method allows us to uncover structures, which are present in the signal but are hidden behind the noise. The key feature of w

Why Momentum in Quantum Physics is Complex

In classical physics, we are used to calculating an object's momentum by multiplying its mass by its velocity. But how do we deal with momentum in Quantum Mechanics, where we commonly deal with wave functions? A wave function is a mathematical function that contains all the information we

Here's What a Quantum Wave Function REALLY Represents

The quantum mechanical wave function can seem a little bit mysterious, but here's what it really represents. We begin by looking at a particle that can only move along a single direction, between two fixed points. These restrictions are absolutely not necessary in order to understand the
