SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the derivation of the field operator for Bogoliubov quasiparticles in edge states, specifically addressing equation (1.15) from a set of notes. The participant expresses clarity up to equation (1.14), which pertains to the edge state of the first-quantized Hamiltonian, but seeks clarification on the transition to the field operator in (1.15). The conversation references equations (1.49) and (1.50), highlighting a generalized real-space formulation compared to the conventional k-space approach.
