Understanding Energy in Quantum Fields and Particles
The chapter explores the concept of energy in quantum fields and particles, distinguishing between potential energy for particles and fields. It highlights the role of Fourier transforms in simplifying the representation of kinetic, potential, and gradient energies within the field. The discussion progresses to relate energy levels to vibrations of modes in quantum fields and explains the relationship between mass and energy in particle physics.
