A state-space based approach to Quantum Field Theory in classical background fields

This dissertation is concerned with a new formulation of fermionic quantum field theory in classical (electromagnetic or gravitational) backgrounds, which uses methods analogous to those used in conventional multiparticle quantum mechanics. Emphasis is placed on the states of the system, described i...
