Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Electrodynamics

Description

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the mathematical and conceptual framework for contemporary elementary particle physics. It is also a framework used in other areas of theoretical physics, such as condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics. QFT is the result of the combination of classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Electrodynamics is a comprehensive textbook for students and researchers in physics and mathematics. It covers the basic concepts and mathematical methods of quantum field theory and quantum electrodynamics. The book includes chapters on canonical quantization, the path integral formulation, renormalization, and the Standard Model of particle physics.
