How to picture a quantum field?


How do we picture/imagine a quantum field ? How is it different from a classical field ? How do we picture a particle arising out of an excitation of its respective quantum field ?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
