Quantum Field Theory is the study of the quantum dynamics of relativistic particles. The module gives the quantum description of the electrons, photons and other elementary particles, including a discussion of spin, and bosons and fermions. Lectures will provide an introduction to functional integrals, Feynman diagrams, and the standard model of particle physics.

Suitable for year 3/4 undergraduates and postgraduates
