How is the Landau pole described in Quantum Electrodynamics?

  • Energy release point

  • Prediction of Infinite Coupling Strength

  • Magnetic Field Disruptor

  • Quantum Vacuum State

Answer

The Landau pole signifies a point where the coupling strength of a theory, like Quantum Electrodynamics, becomes infinitely strong. This behavior contradicts Theory's predictability, indicating that Theory is no longer valid beyond that specific energy scale. It serves as a signpost hinting at the existence of new physics or the need for a more comprehensive theory.
