Lagrangian density of an interacting real scalar field theory
Srednicki writes the Lagrangian density of an interacting scalar field theory as
$$ \mathcal{L} = -\frac{1}{2} Z_\phi \partial^\mu \phi \partial_\mu \phi -\frac{1}{2} Z_m m^2 \phi^2 + \frac{1}{6} Z_g …

Sinusoidal drive of two level system: why can we ignore one of the two terms?
I am studying the time-dependent perturbation theory from Griffith's Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. The context is a two-level system under a sinusoidal perturbation: $H'(\textbf{r}, t) = V(\textb …

Vacuum to vacuum transition amplitude [duplicate]
I have two questions about Vacuum to vacuum transition amplitude.
Can any particle stay in $|0\rangle$?
I was studying this topic from Srednicki's QFT book. He writes in eq.$(6.22)$
$$\langle0|0 \r …
