Question: How perform quantum field theory (QFT) integrals?

It is possible to perform the simplest QFT calculations with second quantization, in Maple? Bosons in a box. See attached example. bosons_in_a_box.mw

Sure any general purpose programming language is capable of performing this task with enough effort. What I am interested in is if the physics tools has a standard way of dealing with these calculations. The general impedement when attempting the calculation is that integrations are perfomed by replacements with delta functions or kronecker delta functions, and its not clear how to force the Maple Physics package to recognize this or if that's possible. Part of the problem is that integrations in maple are defined in one dimension at a time where as in QFT the integration element is almost always atleast three dimensional, d^3x or dxdydzy, the later of which can get extremely cumbersome with even a small number of fields under consideration. I don't find much of what I am refering to mentioned in the help pages and I doubt these types of QFT calculations are possible to perform in Maple without addressing these issues.
