Vacuum polarization in QED: the virtual pair is a dipole particle

›
We found a new way to interpret the QED vacuum polarization diagram.    e-  ------------------------------------                            ...

The virtual pair is a boson which is tunneling: this explains the tricks in vacuum polarization regularization?

›
UPDATE September 10, 2021: We removed the erroneous claim that assigning q to just one side of the virtual pair loop is a restriction. ---- ...

Feynman diagram phase rules: lots of errors?

›
We suspect that the sign of the probability amplitude in the Feynman vacuum polarization diagram is flipped. We have lots of open questions ...

The bare charge of the electron is the same as the apparent charge?

›
Let us assume that there really is a sign error in the traditional way that the vacuum polarization diagram is added to the plain photon pro...

Feynman vacuum polarization and the "complement" problem

›
UPDATE August 29, 2021: Our method, when putting a sharp cutoff for |k| at |p|, gives for small |p| << M the correction term       α p...

Vacuum polarization makes a strong electric field stronger through a dipole?

›
Vacuum polarization in the Dirac sea comes from the fact that a charge deforms the paths of negative energy electrons in the sea. For exampl...

Coulomb focusing for the 2s orbital of hydrogen: it cannot explain vacuum polarization

›
We claimed in an earlier blog post that electron on the 2s orbital moves radially toward the proton or away from it. Then Coulomb focusing w...
