The optimized expansion for the effective action in quantum field theory is discussed to second order. As an example we use the scalar quantum field theory with \(\lambda \phi^{4}\) interaction in one-dimensional space-time, which is equivalent to quantum mechanics of the anharmonic ascillator. The

✦ Synopsis
The effective action for the local composite operator 8 2 (x) in the scalar quantum field theory with *8 4 interaction is obtained in the expansion in two-particle-point-irreducible (2PPI) diagrams up to five-loops. The effective potential and 2-point Green's functions for elementary and composite fields are derived. The ground state energy as well as one-and two-particle excitations are calculated for space-time dimension n=1, when the theory is equivalent to the quantum mechanics of an anharmonic oscillator. The agreement with the exact spectrum of the oscillator is much better than that obtained within the perturbation theory.
