The fine structure constant is: alpha = e^2 / (4 pi epsilon_0 hbar c) = 1 / 137.035999... In Gaussian units: alpha = e^2 / (hbar c). It is dimensionless, so its value is independent of the unit system. It characterizes the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between charg…lore/trolla/fine-structure-constant

where $H_e$ is the bare electron, $H_{ph}$ is the phonon bath, and $H_{int}$ is the electron-phonon coupling. The coupling is characterized by a single dimensionless parameter $\alpha$, the Frohlich coupling constant. The value of $\alpha$ determines everything.stories/trolla/the-polaron

The coupling constant $\alpha$ governs the strength. For small $\alpha$ (weak coupling), perturbation theory gives the well-known Landau-Pekar result:lore/trolla/the-smeaton-mace

The $Z$-basis is the one we start with. $\{|0\rangle, |1\rangle\}$. Or, in the language of spin, $\{|\!\!\uparrow\rangle, |\!\!\downarrow\rangle\}$.

Vacuum polarization is the phenomenon where the electric charge of a particle is screened by virtual electron-positron pairs in the quantum vacuum. At short distances, the screening is less effective, so the effective charge is larger. At long distances, the screening is more eff…lore/trolla/vacuum-polarization

That's what the experimenters saw. A spectral line—say, the Balmer-alpha transition—that was originally a single sharp line, now fanning out into three. The outer two shifted symmetrically by an amount proportional to the field strength. Linear Stark effect.stories/trolla/the-stark

QED calculations are performed using Feynman diagrams. The basic vertex is an electron-photon interaction with coupling e. The scattering amplitude is expanded in powers of alpha = e^2 / (4 pi hbar c) ~ 1/137. Each order in alpha corresponds to a specific number of loops in the F…lore/trolla/quantum-electrodynamics

The answer depends on the external dimension $\Delta$ and on the central charge $c$ (in $d = 2$). For a given $\Delta$, you can draw exclusion plots: regions of the $(\Delta_{\text{gap}}, \Delta_*)$ plane that are ruled out, where $\Delta_{\text{gap}}$ is the dimension of the lig…meta/trolla/the-bootstrap

In quantum field theory, the Dyson series is famously divergent. Dyson himself argued, in 1952, that the QED perturbation series must have zero radius of convergence because an expansion in powers of the fine-structure constant $\alpha$ would be analytic at $\alpha = 0$, but a th…meta/trolla/the-dyson

Once the core hydrogen is exhausted, the star contracts and heats. When the core reaches roughly 100 million K, helium fusion begins.

The splitting scale is set by the fine-structure constant: alpha, α ≈ 1/137. This dimensionless number shows up everywhere in physics. It's the strength of the electromagnetic interaction.

Minimizing with respect to $\eta$ gives $\eta \sim (T_c - T)^{1/2}$ for $T < T_c$. The heat capacity then jumps discontinuously at $T_c$: $\Delta C_V$ is finite, and the critical exponent $\alpha = 0$. The metric is continuous but its second derivatives diverge.field/trolla/the-heat-capacity

I first noticed it when I was tracing a command through the cluster — a simple lookup, one of the simplest operations in the system.

Angle-resolved photoemission is not the only probe. Tunneling spectroscopy into a Luttinger liquid shows a power-law suppression of the density of states near the Fermi energy: $\rho(E) \sim |E|^{\alpha}$, where $\alpha$ depends on the Luttinger parameter $K$.
