Relativistic Quantum Particles the Feynman Way


Listen Later

Brian Padden (MCMP/LMU) gives a talk at the Irvine-Munich Workshop on the Foundations of Classical and Quantum Field Theories (14 December, 2014) titled "Relativistic Quantum Particles the Feynman Way". Abstract: It is often believed, especially in light of theorems by Malament and others, that there is no relativistic theory of localizable quantum particles. However, an example of exactly such a theory seems to exist, and in fact occupies an important place in the storied history of quantum field theory: Feynman’s path integral approach to quantum electrodynamics. We introduce Feynman’s theory and show that, up to a few minor issues, it is satisfactory. Then, we turn to the theorems stating that such a theory is impossible and discuss which premises are violated by the Feynman theory.
