What is Quantum Electrodynamics?
Quantum Electrodynamics is a branch of physics that combines quantum mechanics with classical electromagnetism.
Who developed Quantum Electrodynamics?
Quantum Electrodynamics was developed by Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger, and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga.
What is the main focus of Quantum Electrodynamics?
Quantum Electrodynamics primarily focuses on the study of how light and matter interact.
What are the fundamental particles involved in Quantum Electrodynamics?
The fundamental particles involved in Quantum Electrodynamics are electrons, positrons, and photons.
What does quantum mean in Quantum Electrodynamics?
In Quantum Electrodynamics, quantum refers to the discrete and quantized nature of energy and particles.
Which theory does Quantum Electrodynamics extend?
Quantum Electrodynamics extends the theory of classical electromagnetism.
What is the role of virtual particles in Quantum Electrodynamics?
Virtual particles are temporary particles that mediate interactions in Quantum Electrodynamics.
What is the main challenge in developing Quantum Electrodynamics?
The main challenge in developing Quantum Electrodynamics is handling the infinities that arise in calculations.
What are Feynman diagrams used for in Quantum Electrodynamics?
Feynman diagrams are graphical representations used to calculate probabilities of particle interactions in Quantum Electrodynamics.
What is the significance of renormalization in Quantum Electrodynamics?
Renormalization is a technique used to remove the infinities and obtain meaningful results in Quantum Electrodynamics.
How does Quantum Electrodynamics explain Quantum Vacuum?
Quantum Electrodynamics explains Quantum Vacuum as a sea of virtual particles continuously appearing and disappearing.
What is the mathematical framework used in Quantum Electrodynamics?
Quantum Electrodynamics is formulated using quantum field theory and the principles of special relativity.
