The concepts of particle and field are fundamental to modern physics. In an earlier phase of
physics, the so-called classical, these two concepts referred to different physical objects; for …

Finally, with the aid of second quantization there was constructed a consistent theory
(quantum field theory), which permitted describing, from a unified point of view, both …

Principles of Quantum Electrodynamics concentrates on one of the best understood parts of
quantum field theory, quantum electrodynamics. It emphasizes the physical basis of the …

One of the most important results in the new development of the theory of the electron is the
possibility of converting electromagnetic field energy into matter. A light quantum, for …

The idea of the photon has stirred the imaginations of physicists ever since 1905 when
Einstein originally proposed the use of light quanta to explain the photoelectric effect. This …
