QFT Dyson’s Formula
@
• Recall in interaction picture i | (t)iI = HI (t)| (t)iI
@t
• Write solution in terms of unitary time evolution operator
such that U (t1 , t2 )U (t2 , t3 ) = U (t1 , t3 ) and U (t, t) = 1
| (t)iI = U (t, t0 )| (t0 )iI
dU
• Requires that i = HI (t)U

• If HI (t) were a function U (t, t0 ) = exp i HI (t0 )dt0
