For the scalar Wick-Cutkosky model in the particle representation we perform a similar variational calculation for the 2-point function as was done by Feynman for the polaron problem. We employ a quadratic nonlocal trial action with a retardation function for which several ans\"atze are used. The variational parameters are determined by minimizing the variational function and in the most general case the nonlinear variational equations are solved numerically. We obtain the residue at the pole, study analytically and numerically the instability of the model at larger coupling constants and calculate the width of the dressed particle.

Propagator from Nonperturbative Worldline Dynamics
Worldline Monte Carlo with a fitted potential PDF gives an all-orders quenched propagator for S2QED, with a pole mass that drops toward zero near a critical coupling around 0.72.
