Has anyone ever heard of treating a particle and antiparticle as identical based on the formalism of quantum field theory? The argument given is that the creation operator for a particle is the annihilation operator for its antiparticle, but I can't find this idea of treating them as identical anywhere else, and of course it seems strange to call particles which may have opposite charge and other quantum numbers "identical." Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!
Thanks!
