hi
i want to know that what is quantum and classical correlation.
is there any book or paper?
thanks

That is a very general question, can you be more specific? In optics, classical correlations can be discussed in the context of coherence theory, such as in a laser beam. In quantum, particles are often said to have non-classical correlations when they are entangled. But meaning of correlation always depends upon the context.
 
i want to know what is physical idea behind "correlation function"

as you know in quantum we define <B(t)B(s)> , B(t) and B(s) are operators in different time. and angular bracket shows averaging.

is this definition say that if correlation function does not vanish then the observables corresponding to operators B(t) depend on each other in different time? in other words if correlation function does not vanish does the value of observable in time s affect the value of observable in time t?

Thread 'Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?'

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...

Thread 'Lesser Green's function'

The lesser Green's function is defined as: $$G^{<}(t,t')=i\langle C_{\nu}^{\dagger}(t')C_{\nu}(t)\rangle=i\bra{n}C_{\nu}^{\dagger}(t')C_{\nu}(t)\ket{n}$$ where ##\ket{n}## is the many particle ground state. $$G^{<}(t,t')=i\bra{n}e^{iHt'}C_{\nu}^{\dagger}(0)e^{-iHt'}e^{iHt}C_{\nu}(0)e^{-iHt}\ket{n}$$ First consider the case t <t' Define, $$\ket{\alpha}=e^{-iH(t'-t)}C_{\nu}(0)e^{-iHt}\ket{n}$$ $$\ket{\beta}=C_{\nu}(0)e^{-iHt'}\ket{n}$$ $$G^{<}(t,t')=i\bra{\beta}\ket{\alpha}$$ ##\ket{\alpha}##...
