Abstract
Second quantized operators create and annihilate particles. Depending on the interpretation of these operators, the corresponding particles may have classical analogs or may not. Throughout the previous treatment we have dealt with electrons which are considered as true “physical” particles. In this section we shall discuss certain combinations of electron creation and annihilation operators which are said to create “quasiparticles”.
