In second quantization one introduces the creation operator such that a state can be written. There is a second, intimately related problem which arises in a relativistic quantum theory, which is that of causality. However, cy c j i n j i for any basis state j i,whereasc cy j i 1.

Introduction and history second quantization is the standard formulation of quantum manyparticle theory. Ganesh 1 introduction the philosophical case for studying many particle physics was rst laid out by philip w. In physics, canonical quantization is a procedure for quantizing a classical theory, while attempting to preserve the formal structure, such as symmetries, of the classical theory, to the greatest extent possible historically, this was not quite werner heisenbergs route to obtaining quantum mechanics, but paul dirac introduced it in his 1926 doctoral thesis, the method of classical analogy. How do we find second quantized operators given first quantized expressions. The familiar secondorder energy correction due to excited states, is, of course, diagonal in state space.

The goal is to solve the time evolution, or, equivalently, find the energy eigenstates. The basis vectors of the fock space are occupation number vectors, with each vector defined by a set of occupation numbers 0 or 1 for fermions.
