We evaluate the Polyakov loop and string tension at zero and finite
temperature in QED2​. Using bozonization the problem is reduced to solving
the Schr\"odinger equation with a particular potential determined by the ground
state. In the presence of two sources of opposite charges the vacuum angle
parameter θ changes by 2π(q/e), independent of the number of
flavors. This, in turn, alters the chiral condensate. Particularly, in the one
flavor case through a simple computer algorithm, we explore the chiral dynamics
of a heavy fermion.Comment: 4 pages, 2 ps files, uses sprocl.sty. To appear in Proceedings of
