| Title |
Quantum Field Theory I |
| Description |
First semester of a 2-semester basic course on quantum field theory. The course subjects include:
Part I: QFT of the scalar field
- path integral quantization of the free scalar field
- continuous spacetime symmetries in classical field theories
- Feynman diagrams and Feynman rules for phi4 theory
- canonical quantization of the scalar field
- continuous symmetries in QFT
- internal symmetries (continuous and discrete)
- spontaneous symmetry breaking
- a first look at renormalization
Part II: QFT of the fermion field
- representations of the Lorentz group
- the Dirac Lagrangian and equation
- Clifford algebra and gamma matrices
- canonical quantization for spinors
- fermionic path integral
- Feynman rules
The exercise sessions and exercise sheets are integral part of the course, as some essential concepts are developed there!
This course should be attended in parallel with "Exercises in Theoretical Physics" and before "Quantum Field Theory II" (Spring semester).
Please register for the course in advance via the KSL. |
