Abstract

The Yukawa interaction is considered in 0 + 1 dimensions as a pedagogical example to illustrate quantum field theory methods. From the quantum mechanical point of view the system is trivially exactly solvable, but this can be difficult to see from the path integral perspective. It is shown how despite initial appearances the perturbation series in terms of Feynman diagrams is consistent with the quantum mechanical picture for finite temperature.
