Learn the foundational principles of quantum field theory in this graduate-level lecture series, beginning with the first session that introduces key concepts and sets the stage for advanced study. Explore essential topics including canonical quantization of fields, particle physics, perturbation theory, Feynman diagrams, S-matrix properties, renormalization, functional methods, and gauge theories. Drawing from renowned textbooks by Peskin and Schroeder, Weinberg's Quantum Theory of Fields, and Sidney Coleman's Physics notes, master both basic and advanced QFT concepts through comprehensive instruction delivered by Professor Suvrat Raju at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the mathematical framework that explains why fields are necessary in quantum mechanics and gain insights into modern approaches to scattering amplitudes, all while building a strong theoretical foundation in this cornerstone of modern physics.
