A modern introduction to quantum field theory.QC174 0-19-852074-3 A modern introduction to quantum field theory quantum field theory, study of the quantum mechanical interaction of elementary particles and fields. Quantum field theory applied to the understanding of electromagnetism is called quantum electrodynamics (QED), and it has proved spectacularly successful in . Maggiore, Michele. (Oxford master series in statistical, computational, and theoretical physics) Oxford U. Press, [c]2005 291 p. $44.50 (pa) Maggiore (physics, U. of Geneva Geneva, canton and city, Switzerland Geneva (jənē`və), Fr. Genève, canton (1990 pop. 373,019), 109 sq mi (282 sq km), SW Switzerland, surrounding the southwest tip of the Lake of Geneva. ) has compiled and systematized notes for his two-semester advanced undergraduate course introducing quantum field theory. In addition to explaining how to compute cross-sections and decay rates in particle physics particle physics or high-energy physics Study of the fundamental subatomic particles, including both matter (and antimatter) and the carrier particles of the fundamental interactions as described by quantum field theory. , as most such textbooks do, he highlights the power and variety of the theory's methods and ideas, and how they can be applied to domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter This article is about the publications. For the phases of matter, see Condensed matter physics. There are at least 2 publications named Condensed Matter. , statistical mechanics, and critical phenomena. |
