Assuming only an undergraduate-level understanding of quantum mechanics, the book steadily develops the Standard Model and state-of-the-art calculation techniques. It includes multiple derivations of ...

A century ago, physics had its Darwinian moment — a change in perspective that was as consequential for the physical sciences ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum ... Two quantum field theories lie at the heart of the standard model of particle physics. The product of many decades of theoretical ...

The Standard Model is built on the mathematical framework of quantum field theory (QFT), combining the principles of quantum mechanics with special relativity. QFT assumes the fundamental ...

The development of the Standard Model was driven by theoretical and experimental particle physicists alike. For theorists, the Standard Model is a paradigm of a quantum field theory, which exhibits a ...

To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics ... together in a ramshackle coalition known as the “standard model” of particle physics. For all the impression ...

When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...
