SUMMARY
Virtual particles exist for various fields, including the Higgs and Strong fields, similar to virtual photons in the electromagnetic field. These virtual particles are not real entities but serve as a pictorial representation within the framework of the Dyson series. The Dyson series provides a mathematical approach to quantum field theory, illustrating interactions between particles.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of quantum field theory concepts
