What is the content of an occupied QFT fermionic state?

A simple non-interacting quantum field is constructed by analogy to a harmonic oscillator, with $\hat{x}$ & $\hat{p}$ replaced by operator-valued distributions $\hat{\phi}(r)$ & $\hat{\pi}(r)$, and wi …

What's the ground state wave-functional of a fermion?

The vacuum state, free field wave-functional of a scalar field $\hat\phi(x)$ in the Schrödinger representation of quantum field theory is $$\begin{array}{cl} \Psi_0[\phi] &= C\prod_k e^{-\omega(k)\fr …

What's the space of eigenvalues/field configurations for a fermion?

In the Schrödinger picture of quantum field theory, the field eigenstates of a real scalar field $\hat\phi(\mathbf x)$ with $\mathbf x \in\mathbb R^3$ are the states $\hat\phi(\mathbf x)|\phi\rangle=\ …
