Quantum field theory is arguably the most far-reaching and beautiful physical theory ever constructed, with aspects more stringently tested and verified to greater precision than any other theory in physics. Unfortunately, the subject has gained a notorious reputation for difficulty, with forbidding looking mathematics and a peculiar diagrammatic language described in an array of unforgiving, weighty textbooks aimed firmly at aspiring professionals. However, quantum field theory is too important, too beautiful, and too engaging to be restricted to the professionals. This book on quantum field theory is designed to be different. It is written by experimental physicists and aims to provide the interested amateur with a bridge from undergraduate physics to quantum field theory. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur, possessing a curious and adaptable mind, looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually stimulating story, but who will not feel patronised if a few mathematical niceties are spelled out in detail. Using numerous worked examples, diagrams, and careful physically motivated explanations, this book will smooth the path towards understanding the radically different and revolutionary view of the physical world that quantum field theory provides, and which all physicists should have the opportunity to experience.-- Quantum field theory Quantum field theory Amateurs' manuals Quantum field theory Problems, exercises, etc Quantum field theory fast Quantenfeldtheorie gnd Handbooks, manuals, etc fast Problems, exercises, etc fast Blundell Stephen 1967- author https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199699322.001.0001/acprof-9780199699322 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199699322.001.0001/acprof-9780199699322 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Oxford Scholarship Online Physics University Press Scholarship Online E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Lancaster Tom author IDSBB 700 1- Blundell Stephen 1967- author IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199699322.001.0001/acprof-9780199699322 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199699322.001.0001/acprof-9780199699322 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 315418206
