Where does the Hamiltonian H come from? We cannot just invent it! More physics… |
We know that the potential energy part of the Hamiltonian really comes from field-theoretic virtual processes (photons, gluons, etc). |
What are these events? |
Kinetic energy, also, has a mass which is ‘dressed’ by virtual processes. |
