PHYS 9530 - Quantum Field Theory

Institution:

Clemson University

Subject:

Physics

Description:

Basic ideas of quantum field theory for bosonic and fermionic fields are covered, with an emphasis on quantum electrodynamics. Quantum field theory is constructed from a classical Lagrangian. Feynman diagrams are applied to calculate relativistic scattering processes to lowest order in perturbation theory. Knowledge of basic quantum mechanics is required.
