CPT Theorem

Intuitive

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead, colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Concrete

The CPT theorem says that any Lorentz invariant local quantum field theory with a Hermitian Hamiltonian must be CPT symmetric.

Abstract

  • The standard reference is "PCT, spin and statistics, and all that" by R. F. Streater and A. S. Wightman.

Why is it interesting?

The CPT theorem tells us that CPT symmetry holds for all physical phenomena.
