Physics 582 is the first half of a two-semester sequence of courses in Quantum Field Theory. In Physics 582 we will study the basic conceptual and computational tools of quantum field theory. Below you will find a detailed Course Plan (or Syllabus) for Physics 582. You will also find links to the homework sets and to their solutions. Pavel Etingof's Homepage. From Griffiths to Peskin: a lit review for beginners « An American Physics Student in England. A.k.a. “How to get started learning QFT as an undergraduate.” 5 Jan 07: Slight updates (added more details) to a few of the reviews, and an added caveat. Quantum Field Theory (QFT) plays a key role in all branches of theoretical physics.
For students interested in high energy theory, exposure to QFT at any early stage is slowly becoming the standard for top American graduate schools. This is already the case for the Mathematics Tripos at Cambridge. However, the ‘standard’ American undergraduate physics curriculum doesn’t typically encourage Quantum Field Theory, nor do smaller liberal arts college regularly offer QFT courses. It is often expected that a student will take a second year of ‘graduate’ quantum mechanics before taking QFT. Instead, I present a rough guide to pedagogical QFT literature so that a motivated student can prepare for a graduate-level QFT course or a get started with a self-study during the summer after his/her undergraduate quantum mechanics course.

Philip Tanedo, who took this course long ago, has put together a useful literature review of quantum field theory textbooks. The late Sidney Coleman taught the quantum field theory course at Harvard for many years, influencing a generation of physicists in the way they view and teach QFT.
Part 1 Part 2 These notes were subsequently latexed and posted on the arXiv. Another, older legendary QFT course was given in 1951 by Freeman Dyson. Quantum Field Theory | School of Mathematics. A program in Quantum Field Theory for mathematicians was held at the Institute for Advanced study during the academic year 1996-97. The participants and lecturers produced lecture notes and problem sets (and some solutions to problems) throughout the year, which are stored here. This web site is in its final form as of January 21, 1999; the intention is to leave it in place indefinitely. Contents Lecture notes and problem sets from the fall termLecture notes and problem sets from the spring termYou may also wish to consult the updates to this web site between 6/9/97 and 1/21/99. Following the conclusion of the program, much of the material on this web site has been re-organized, supplemented, and polished.

You can either use the "article" documentclass (which is standard in LaTex 2e) or you can use the APS package (RevTeX 4), which also runs on LaTeX 2e; in this case please declare the document as a "preprint". If you wish to use figures in your paper you are welcome to do so but they must be in ("encapsulated postscript") format. .

I am currently (2008) researching the unification of quantum theory and gravitation. I am concerned with particle creation via quantum fields in various spacetimes, and how ‘quantum field theory in curved spacetime’ can be used to understand and create a new appoach for a theory of quantum gravity. Particularly, I am studing the creation of particles via: (1) a flat spacetime that undergoes an intermediate expansion, (2) a flat spacetime that has an imposed boundary condition that represents an accelerating mirror, (3) a curved spacetime around a black hole, (4) a curved spacetime from a collapsing star.
This work is being done in close collaboration with Charles Evans (UNC) and Paul Anderson (WFU). These questions are of interest: 1: How can general relativity and quantum theory be combined? 2: How can the foundations of quantum mechanics be understood? 3: How are the various particles and forces unified in a theory that explains them all as manifestations of single, fundamental entity?
