ECTS : 6
Langue d’enseignement : Anglais

This course will provide an introduction to quantum field theory. We will discuss the observables of quantum field theory, canonical and path integral quantization of fields of different spin, perturbation theory and its infinities, abelian and, time permitting, non-abelian gauge symmetry. The course will roughly follow the textbooks “Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model” by Matthew D. Schwartz and "The Quantum Theory of Fields", volume 1, by Steven Weinberg.
Prerequisites
quantum mechanics, including perturbation theory (Fermi’s golden rule, …)
special relativity, in particular the Lorentz transformation and relativistic kinematics
analytical mechanics (Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism)
complex analysis, in particular the computation of residues, and a passing familiarity with distributions (roughly at the level of the corresponding Wikipedia page entry)
