Description

This talk is an introduction to some of the advantages and peculiarities of light-cone quantization. It compares the steps needed to compute hadronic states on the light cone versus those needed with conventional equal-time quantization, emphasizing the simplicity of boosts and of the vacuum in the light-cone formalism
