Wick's theorem is one of the most important results in perturbative quantum field theory.
|
||||
It expresses a time-ordered product of fields as a sum of terms consisting of
|
||||
time-contractions of pairs of fields multiplied by the normal-ordered product of
|
||||
the remaining fields. Wick's theorem is also the precursor to the diagrammatic
|
||||
approach to quantum field theory called Feynman diagrams."
|
||||
In perturbation quantum field theory, Wick's theorem allows
|
||||
us to expand expectation values of time-ordered products of fields in terms of normal-orders
|
||||
and time contractions.
|
||||
The theorem is used to simplify the calculation of scattering amplitudes, and is the precurser
|
||||
to Feynman diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
There is are actually three different versions of Wick's theorem used.
|
||||
The static version, the time-dependent version, and the normal-ordered time-dependent version.
|
||||
HepLean contains a formalization of all three of these theorems in complete generality for
|
||||
mixtures of bosonic and fermionic fields.
|
||||
|
||||
The statement of these theorems for bosons is simplier then when fermions are involved, since
|
||||
one does not have to worry about the minus-signs picked up on exchanging fields."
