Digital Teaching
Lectures will be in-person, without a hybrid option.
Course Contents
The lecture assumes knowledge of quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and relativity. No prior knowledge of quantum field theory is assumed. Relativistic quantum mechanics (Dirac equation) is helpful but is not assumed.
The topics covered are:
- Classical Field Theory with Lagrangians
- Quantization of Field Theories
- Generating Functional and Greens Functions
- Cross sections, S-matrix
- Scattering processes in QED
- Loops and Renormalization in QED

M.E. Peskin and D.V. Schroeder,
Perseus Books Publishing 1995
2) Quantum Field Theory,
L.S. Brown,
Cambridge University Press 1992
3) Quantum Field Theory,
