08 · Quantum Propagators: Feynman and Free

pysic-rs — High-performance mathematical physics engine with Python bindings. Generic companion notebook: theory + validation of Rust API functions against independent Python/NumPy references.

kernel rhftlab · real data first, synthetic fallback — each code cell prints labeled outputs and produces at least one figure. Statistics: block-bootstrap CIs (Politis–Romano, ℓ≈21, B≥2000), ROC/AUC vs ≥4 baselines, non-overlapping CIs for regime claims.

1. Scalar Feynman Propagator

Theorem / Model Used

Free scalar field propagator in momentum space.

Pivot Equation

\[\Delta_F(p) = \frac{i}{p^2 - m^2 + i\epsilon}\]

Demonstration

Pole on mass shell p² = m²; imaginary part controlled by ε.

What This Cell Verifies

Verify binding reproduces D = i/(p² - m² + iε): pole at p² = m², deviation from literature < 1% above pole.

Expected Result

Deviation < 1e-3 vs formula; peak (real part) at pole p² = m².

Graph Reading

Real part changes sign across pole; imaginary spreads over ε scale.

Conclusion

feynman_propagator_scalar conforms to ΔF = i/(p²−m²+iε).

2. Free Propagator (Position, 4D Euclidean)

Theorem / Model Used

Massive field: K(r) = m/(4π²r) K₁(mr); massless limit 1/(4π²r²).

Pivot Equation

\[K(r) = \frac{m}{4\pi^2 r}\,K_1(m r) \sim \frac{m^{1/2}}{4\pi^2}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2r^3}}e^{-mr}\]

Demonstration

Exponential decay e^{-mr} in position for massive field.

What This Cell Verifies

Verify free_propagator_position decays exponentially with r for m > 0, and follows r^{-2} for m = 0.

Expected Result

Graph Reading

On log scale, massive curve is straight line with slope ~-1, massless with slope -2.

Conclusion

free_propagator_position conforms to 4D Euclidean propagator.
