A course-based introduction to quantum field theory

Developed from a two-semester course at the University of Heidelberg, this 352-page text lays out foundational concepts for constructing a relativistic quantum theory of particles and fields. Its scope is deliberately preparatory: the book builds groundwork for later study of quantum chromodynamics and weak interactions, but does not cover those subjects. The course origins make its teaching context clear, while the stated focus is on core theoretical foundations rather than a survey of those extensions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Graduate students seeking an introduction to the foundations of relativistic quantum theory.
  • Lecturers looking for course-oriented material on particles and fields.

Book overview

Based on a two-semester course held at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, this book provides an adequate resource for the lecturer and the student. The contents are primarily aimed at graduate students who wish to learn about the fundamental concepts behind constructing a Relativistic Quantum Theory of particles and fields. So it provides a comprehensive foundation for the extension to Quantum Chromodynamics and Weak Interactions, that are not included in this book.
