Overview
Learn quantum field theory fundamentals in this graduate-level lecture from a comprehensive course series at ICTS. Explore key concepts including canonical quantization of fields, particle physics, perturbation theory, Feynman diagrams, S-matrix properties, renormalization, functional methods, and gauge theories. Gain insights from Professor Suvrat Raju as he delivers this third lecture, building from basic QFT principles while incorporating advanced material suitable for students with prior exposure to the subject. Follow along with recommended texts from Peskin and Schroeder, Weinberg's Quantum Theory of Fields, and Sidney Coleman's Physics notes as you delve into the mathematical and theoretical foundations that explain why fields are necessary in quantum mechanics.
