In [[quantum field theory]], the '''Gupta–Bleuler formalism''' is a way of [[quantization (physics)|quantizing]] the [[electromagnetic field]]. The formulation is due to theoretical physicists [[Suraj N. Gupta]] and [[Konrad Bleuler]].

Let's start with a single [[photon]] first.

where the <math>{1\over 2|\vec{k}_a|}</math> factor is to implement [[Lorentz covariance]]. We are using the +−−− [[metric signature]] here. However, this sesquilinear form gives positive norms for spatial polarizations but negative norms for timelike polarizations. Negative probabilities are unphysical. Not to mention a physical photon only has two [[transverse wave|transverse]] polarizations, not four.
 
If we include gauge covariance, we realize a photon can have three possible polarizations (two transverse and one longitudinal (i.e. parallel to the 4-momentum)). This is given by the restriction <math>k\cdot \epsilon=0</math>. However, the longitudinal component is merely unphysical gauge. While it would be nice to define a stricter restriction than the one given above which only leaves us with the two transverse components, it's easy to check that this can't be defined in a [[Lorentz covariant]] manner because what is transverse in one frame of reference isn't transverse anymore in another.
 
To resolve this difficulty, first look at the subspace with three polarizations. The sesquilinear form restricted to it is merely [[semidefinite]], which is better than indefinite.
In addition, the subspace with zero norm turns out to be none other than the gauge degrees of freedom. So, define the physical [[Hilbert space]] to be the [[quotient space]] of the three polarization subspace by its zero norm subspace. This space has a [[definite bilinear form|positive definite]] form, making it a true Hilbert space.
 
This technique can be similarly extended to the bosonic [[Fock space]] of multiparticle photons. Using the standard trick of adjoint [[creation operator|creation]] and [[annihilation operator]]s, but with this quotient trick, we come up with the [[free field]] [[vector potential]] [[operator valued distribution]] A satisfying
 
:<math>\partial^\mu \partial_\mu A=0</math>
 
with the condition
 
:<math>\langle\chi|\partial^\mu A_\mu|\psi\rangle=0</math>
 
for physical states |&chi;&rang; and |&psi;&rang; in the Fock space (it is understood that physical states are really equivalence classes of states which differ by a state of zero norm).
 
It should be emphasised that this is not the same thing as
 
:<math>\partial^\mu A_\mu=0</math>
 
Note that if O is any gauge invariant operator,
 
:<math>\langle\chi|O|\psi\rangle</math>
 
does not depend upon the choice of the representatives of the equivalence classes, and so, this quantity is well-defined.
 
This is not true for nongauge-invariant operators in general because the [[Lorenz gauge]] still leaves us with residual gauge degrees of freedom.
 
In an interacting theory of [[quantum electrodynamics]], the Lorenz gauge condition still applies, but A no longer satisfies the free wave equation.
