... This should make you a little nervous; we’ve seen that with matrices and other things that aren’t simple numbers, multiplication is not necessarily commutative. However, again, in this case, when it comes to inner products, a state for a different particle can be treated as a constant with respect t ...

Group representation theory and quantum physics
... If G is the symmetry group of a Hamiltonian H, then every degenerate eigensubspace of H is globally invariant under G i.e. constitutes a representation of the group G. Note that the representation is not necessarily irreducible. However, it will be in the vast majority of practical cases. To prove W ...

Quantum electrodynamics
In particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics. In essence, it describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. QED mathematically describes all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons and represents the quantum counterpart of classical electromagnetism giving a complete account of matter and light interaction.In technical terms, QED can be described as a perturbation theory of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Richard Feynman called it ""the jewel of physics"" for its extremely accurate predictions of quantities like the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the Lamb shift of the energy levels of hydrogen.
