Talk:Quantum field theory

I think someone got the formula for the symmetric wave-function of a system of N bosons wrong. As it stands, it is not correctly normalized. What's really funny is that later on we have a (correct) example for a system of three particles which is not consistent with the general formula.

Well, I'd personally prefer a treatment of relativistic QFT expressed in the language of physics rather than mathematics. But I don't have time to work on the article right now. Oh well. -- CYD

I think something needs to be said about what is quantized. In QM we quantize the [x,p], but in QFT x,p are not really operators, instead we quantize [field,canonical momentum] which are operators. (and the field is not an operator in regular QM).

Also I think something needs to be said about the propigator greens function that really captures the heart of partical exchange and lots of new ideas. -- CHF

Perhaps Pascual Jordan should be included in the list of founders set out in the intoduction. As he seems to often drop out of histories of physics after the dreimaennerarbeit paper, I would put forward Schweber's "QED and the Men who Made it" as well as Bert Schroer's recent preprint on Arxiv to back that up. - GWP (passer-by)
