Description

This lecture covers non-perturbative effects, focusing on instantons in the double well potential. The instructor explains how perturbation theory misses important effects, such as metastable states and tunneling phenomena. The lecture also delves into the dilute instanton gas approximation and the exact eigenstates of the double well potential.
