Abstract

In the present work we show the generalities of the classical field theory (CFT), we study its extension to the quantum field theory (QFT), where as an example of numerical analysis and combination with the field theory technique, we solve a system Klein-Gordon type (KGS) in two space-time dimensions (1+1) studying its stability through the spectral parameter λ(k), principle of convergence due to the parameters of the numerical network and the solution for the field ф (x;t), obtaining novel results. Also, we briefly study the technique of creation and destruction ladder operators from the perspective of the quantum harmonic oscillator, to define some properties and extensions to the problem in canonical quantization. Finally, we apply the topics studied to a problem of unconventional superconductivity in Nickelates compounds by solving the system of Bogoliubov-deGennes (BdG) Equations in the mean expansion of the field, obtaining the superconducting energy band.
