Quantum Field Theory: From Operators to Path Integrals

By Kerson Huang

Book Overview

Quantum field theory arose at the beginning of the quantum era. Since that time its domain has been expanded to cover particle physics, condensed matter physics and astrophysics. Providing a distinct alternative to traditional texts, Huang's interpretation introduces quantum theory with a unique perspective on applications to condensed matter physics rather than particle physics. The book first develops the traditional concepts of particle physics and then focuses on the topics that play key roles in condensed matter physics such as functional integrals, statistical mechanics and renormalization
