Quantum Mechanics vs. Quantum Field Theory: What is different for infinitely many degrees of freedom?“
Speaker:Thomas Mannel (University of Siegen)
Abstract:Quantum Field Theory (QFT) can be viewed a Quantum Mechanics (QM) with infinitely many degrees of freedom. This has interesting consequences, which at first sight seem to be mathematical details, but have far-reaching phenomenological consequences, which often are not well known to phenomenological practitioner. In this talk I will discuss this point and show a few examples, where this becomes relevant.
