Introduction: what is quantum field theory ?
... Having told you why QFT is necessary, I should really tell you what it is. The clue is in the name: it is the quantization of a classical field, the most familiar example of which is the electromagnetic field. In standard quantum mechanics, we are taught to take the classical degrees of freedom and ...
