Quantum field theory is frequently approached from the perspective of particle physics. This book adopts a more general point of view and includes applications of condensed matter physics. Written by a highly respected writer and researcher, it first develops traditional concepts, including Feynman
Applying the time-dependent variational principle of Balian and Ve ne roni, we derive variational approximations for multi-time correlation functions in 8 4 field theory. We assume first that the initial state is given and characterized by a density operator equal to a Gaussian density matrix. Then,
