Title: Physical principles in quantum field theory and in covariant harmonic oscillator formalism

Abstract

It is shown that both covariant harmonic oscillator formalism and quantum field theory are based on common physical principles which include Poincare covariance, Heisenberg's space--momentum uncertainty relation, and Dirac's ''C-number'' time--energy uncertainty relation. It is shown in particular that the oscillator wave functions are derivable from the physical principles which are used in the derivation of the Klein--Nishina formula.
