Abstract

The concern of this article is a semiclassical Weyl calculus on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space HH. If (i,H,B)(i, H, B) is a Wiener triplet associated to HH, the quantum state space will be the space of L2L^2 functions on BB with respect to a Gaussian measure with h/2h/2 variance, where hh is the semiclassical parameter. We prove the boundedness of our pseudodifferential operators (PDO) in the spirit of Calder\'on-Vaillancourt with an explicit bound, a Beals type characterization, and metaplectic covariance. An application to a model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is added in the last section, for fixed spin 1/21/2 particles interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field (photons). We prove that some observable time evolutions, the spin evolutions, the magnetic and electric evolutions when subtracting their free evolutions, are PDO in our class.
