Quantized Field Theory in the Hamilton-Jacobi Formalism

The atom-field interaction is formulated within the fully quantized-field theory, starting from a detailed analysis of the transformation from the fundamental minimal coupling interaction Hamiltonian to the electric dipole Hamiltonian used extensively in quantum optics. Spontaneous emission, radiative level shifts, and the natural radiative lineshape are treated in both the Schrodinger and Heisenberg pictures, with emphasis on the roles of vacuum field fluctuations, radiation reaction, and the fluctuation-dissipation relation between them. The shortcomings of semiclassical radiation theories are discussed.

Theory Of Superconductivity

A method of general applicability to the solution of second-quantized field theories at finite temperature is illustrated using the BCS (Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer) model of superconductivity. Finite-temperature field theory is treated using the thermo field-theory formalism of Umezawa and collaborators. The solution of the field theory uses an expansion in thermal modes analogous to the Haag expansion in asymptotic fields used in the N-quantum approximation at zero temperature. The lowest approximation gives the usual gap equation.

Theories Of Gravitation

The study of Graviton as Goldstone bosons appeared in the 1960s, after Bjorken interacting idea of Electrodynamics. However, no recent advancement has been done in the field, because of very constraints as well as low-attractiveness of the theory. We do the non-metric tensor (covariant derivative of the metric tensor) case of Gravitation and eventually get SO(1,3) broken in the vacuum state of quantized field theory, then find the Graviton as Goldstone Boson. We, in final, see that Gravitons can have appearances in many modified (and extended) theories of Gravitation.
