It is also possible to probe nonlinear effects of quantum fields, such as instantons. In general this is much more difficult and less well studied | |

My question is more why a quantum field almost always looks like particles to us. My understanding is that there are some predictions of qft that are not purely particle phenomena, and yet it seems that particles are what we usually observe. Why? | |
