Quantum field theory field operators act as operator-valued distributions rather than standard functions
Is it true that quantum field theory field operators act as operator-valued distributions rather than standard functions?
In quantum field theory, field operators are rigorously formulated as operator-valued distributions rather than standard functions to properly handle ultraviolet divergences and commutation relations at coincident points.
