In scattering theory, the S-matrix is an operator mapping free particle in-states to free particle out-states (scattering channels) in the Heisenberg picture. This is very useful because often we cannot describe the interaction (at least, not the most interesting ones) exactly.
The Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker (KKR) method is used to calculate the electronic band structure of periodic solids.In the derivation of the method using multiple scattering theory by Jan Korringa [1] and the derivation based on the Kohn and Rostoker variational method, [2] the muffin-tin approximation was used. [3]
The following description follows the canonical way of introducing elementary scattering theory. A steady beam of particles scatters off a spherically symmetric potential V ( r ) {\displaystyle V(r)} , which is short-ranged, so that for large distances r → ∞ {\displaystyle r\to \infty } , the particles behave like free particles.
The Kramers–Heisenberg dispersion formula is an expression for the cross section for scattering of a photon by an atomic electron.It was derived before the advent of quantum mechanics by Hendrik Kramers and Werner Heisenberg in 1925, [1] based on the correspondence principle applied to the classical dispersion formula for light.
It relates the scattered wave function with the interaction that produces the scattering (the scattering potential) and therefore allows calculation of the relevant experimental parameters (scattering amplitude and cross sections). The most fundamental equation to describe any quantum phenomenon, including scattering, is the Schrödinger equation.

Any possible choice of parts will yield a valid interaction picture; but in order for the interaction picture to be useful in simplifying the analysis of a problem, the parts will typically be chosen so that H 0,S is well understood and exactly solvable, while H 1,S contains some harder-to-analyze perturbation to this system.
In quantum field theory, the Lehmann–Symanzik–Zimmermann (LSZ) reduction formula is a method to calculate S-matrix elements (the scattering amplitudes) from the time-ordered correlation functions of a quantum field theory.
