==introduction

  • amplitude = sum of integrals = \(\sum_{n\text{ loops}}\) sum of integrals
  • anomalous electron magnetic dipole moment 1.00115965219
  • theoretical computation matches 11 digits with experiments
  • as n grows, number of Feynman diagrams grows exponentially
  • integrals are becoming difficult

==anamalous electron magnetic dipole moment

  • In Dirac’s theory a point like spin 1/2 object of electric charge q and mass m has a magnetic moment\[\mathbf{\mu}=q\mathbf{S}/m\]
  • so the Bohr magneton of the electron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_magneton)  becomes
    \(\mu_\mathrm{B} = {{e \hbar} \over {2 m_\mathrm{e}}}\) since the spin of the electron is \(S=\frac{\hbar}{2}\)
  • but in QED, there are correction terms to this
  • actual spin magnetic moment of the electron involves the spin g-factor (gyromagnetic ratio)
    \(\vec{\mu}_S \ = g_e \mu_\mathrm{B} \frac{\vec{S}}{\hbar}=g\frac{e}{2 m_{e}} \ \vec{S}\)
  • classical vs quantum

  • The g factor sets the strength of an electron’s interaction with a magnetic field.
  • In classical physics (left) magnetic lines of force (perpendicular to the page) induce a curvature in the electron’s path.
  • In quantum electrodynamics (right) the electron interacts with the field by emitting or absorbing a photon.
  • The event is represented in a Feynman diagram, where space extends along the horizontal axis and time moves up the vertical axis.
  • \(g/2=1+c_1\frac{\alpha}{2\pi}+c_2(\frac{\alpha}{2\pi})^2+c_3(\frac{\alpha}{2\pi})^3+\cdots=1.00115965219+\cdots\)

  • Feynman, Julian Schwinger, Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Freeman Dyson
  • Schwinger showed that the one-loop contribution to the "anomalous magnetic moment" of the electron is \(\alpha/{2\pi}=0.00116\cdots\)
