Operation with tensor quantities in quantum field theory

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the use of various software tools for performing analytical operations with tensor quantities in quantum field theory, including Minkowski tensors, spinors, and effective Lagrangians. Key programs mentioned include REDUCE, FORM, GiNaC, sympy, FERMAT, HEPMath, TRACER, FormCalc, FeynCalc, and Redberry. FeynCalc is noted for its popularity among high-energy phenomenologists, particularly in educational settings. The conversation highlights the need for effective computational tools in handling complex mathematical structures in quantum field theory, while also questioning the applicability of Maple in this context. Overall, the focus is on identifying the best software for analytical operations in the field.

I would like to know where one may operate with tensor quantities in quantum field theory: Minkowski tensors, spinors, effective lagrangians (for example sigma models or models with four quark interaction), gamma matrices, Grassmann algebra, Lie algebra, fermion determinants and et cetera.
I know little about
And I heard about HEPMath, FORM, TRACER, FormCalc, FeynCalc, Redberry. And there is Maple, but I didn't see how it can be used in quantum field theory. What is the best programme for analytical operation in quantum field theory?

I know that high energy phenomenologists find FeynCalc to be particularly appealing. My standard model course had problems where we had to use FeynCalc, but that might just be the case in my physics department.
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
Thread 'Project Documentation'
Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
