“…This is due to the fact that we consider only the quantum fluctuation into the |eγ Fock's sector which encodes the information on the structure of the physical electron, but if one considers the state of a physical electron as |e phy → |e + |eγ , the single particle(|e ) also contributes to the F 1,1 at exactly x = 1 which, with proper normalization, cancels the divergence. Since the GPD H is related to the GTMD F 1,1 , a similar behavior of F 1,1 has also been observed in H for physical electron [57]. We find F 1,2 = 0 in this model.…”

We study the Wigner distributions for a physical electron, which reveal the multidimensional images of the electron. The physical electron is considered as a composite system of a bare electron and photon. The Wigner distributions for unpolarized, longitudinally polarized and transversely polarized electron are presented in transverse momentum plane as well as in impact-parameter plane. The spin-spin correlations between the bare electron and the physical electron are discussed. We also evaluate all the leading twist generalized transverse momentum distributions (GTMDs) for electron.

“…The electron itself is represented by a Fock-state expansion that includes dressing by photons and electron-positron pairs, as obtained from solving the Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem in QED. For the extension to generalized parton distributions [42], see the recent work of Chakrabarti et al [43].…”

We examine the current state-of-the-art in nonperturbative calculations done with Hamiltonians constructed in light-front quantization of various field theories. The language of light-front quantization is introduced, and important (numerical) techniques, such as Pauli-Villars regularization, discrete light-cone quantization, basis light-front quantization, the light-front coupled-cluster method, the renormalization group procedure for effective particles, sector-dependent renormalization, and the Lanczos diagonalization method, are surveyed. Specific applications are discussed for quenched scalar Yukawa theory, φ 4 theory, ordinary Yukawa theory, supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, quantum electrodynamics, and quantum chromodynamics. The content should serve as an introduction to these methods for anyone interested in doing such calculations and as a rallying point for those who wish to solve quantum chromodynamics in terms of wave functions rather than random samplings of Euclidean field configurations.

“…Another recent application evaluates the electron GPDs [12]. In addition, BLFQ has been extended to time-dependent strong external field problems (tBLFQ) such as non-linear Compton scattering [13,14].…”

We present the first application of the recently developed Basis Light-Front Quantization (BLFQ) method to self-bound systems in quantum field theory, using the positronium system as a test case. Within the BLFQ framework, we develop a two-body effective interaction, operating only in the lowest Fock sector, that implements photon exchange, neglecting fermion self-energy effects. We then solve for the mass spectrum of this interaction at the unphysical coupling α = 0.3. The resulting spectrum is in good agreement with the expected Bohr spectrum of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. We examine in detail the dependence of the results on the regulators of the theory.
