Class Description

Quantum Field Theory is foundation for many areas of physics nowadays. It has multi-particle quantum mechanics with quantum statistics built-in, and is mandatory in relativistic systems including photons. It also has many application in atomic physics, condensed matter, nuclear, and astro physics. This course builds on where 137AB left off, introduces quantum field theory, and its applications.
