The real problem with perturbative quantum field theory
JD Fraser - The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2020 - journals.uchicago.edu
The perturbative approach to quantum field theory (QFT) has long been viewed with
suspicion by philosophers of science. This article offers a diagnosis of its conceptual …

On the interpretation of Feynman diagrams, or, did the LHC experiments observe H → γγ?
O Passon - European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2019 - Springer
According to the received view Feynman diagrams are a bookkee** device in complex

The development of computational methods for Feynman diagrams
Over the last 70 years, Feynman diagrams have played an essential role in the development
of many theoretical predictions derived from the standard model Lagrangian. In fact, today …

The magic of Feynman's QED: from field-less electrodynamics to the Feynman diagrams
O Darrigol - The European Physical Journal H, 2019 - Springer
For some time, even after the Feynman diagrams and rules were publicly known, the
foundations of Feynman's quantum electrodynamics remained mostly private. Its stupendous …

How to study virtual entities historically? A proposal
M Ehberger - Perspectives on Science, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
This paper will not present a case study of the historical development of a virtual entity.
Rather, I will develop an outlook on virtual entities in the sciences and propose a …

Against the impossible picture: Feynman's heuristics in his search for a divergence-free quantum electrodynamics
A Wüthrich - 2011 - philsci-archive.pitt.edu
Arguably, the development of Feynman diagrams not only resulted in a useful tool for
calculations but also brought about deep conceptual changes in the theory of quantum …
