QUANTUM FIELD THEORY
BY PROF. HYUN MIN LEE
GRADUATE COURSE FOR PHYSICS
This is the webpage for the graduate course on quantum field theory provided by Prof. Hyun Min Lee in Chung-Ang University (CAU) in Seoul, Korea.
ABOUT THIS COURSE
COURSE DESCRIPTION
August 14, 2017
The lecture deals with a detailed account of basic concepts and computational techniques of quantum field theory and their
applications to gauge theories such as QED and the Standard Model.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
August 14, 2017
The goal of this course is to deliver basic concepts of quantum field theory for graduate students who are familiar with quantum mechanics and special relativity. Topics covered include Special theory of relativity, Klein-Gordon field, Dirac field, Quantization of fields, Feynman rules, Gauge field and QED, Renormalization, and Applications to weak interactions of the Standard Model.
