These are my personal lecture notes based on the MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) Quantum Field Theory (QFT) course taught by Professor Hong Liu. The course is a comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory, a fundamental framework for understanding the quantum behavior of fields and particles, and is central to many areas of theoretical physics, including particle physics and condensed matter theory.
- Course Title: Quantum Field Theory
- Instructor: Prof. Hong Liu
- Institution: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
- Platform: MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)
- Course URL: MIT OCW - Quantum Field Theory
These notes are unofficial and were written as a personal study tool. While they aim to accurately reflect the content taught in the MIT OCW lectures, they may contain errors or omissions. Please cross-reference with the official lecture materials and textbooks for the most accurate and detailed explanations.
These notes were created using Obsidian, a markdown-based knowledge management tool. As a result, some formatting or features might not render as expected in other markdown viewers. If certain elements appear misaligned or broken, the notes may be opened in Obsidian for the intended layout and functionality.
- Special thanks to Prof. Hong Liu and MIT OCW for making these lectures and materials freely available online.
- The notes are compiled based on my understanding of the lectures and readings from Peskin and Schroeder.
I began compiling these notes on 6th October 2024 and will attempt to upload notes covering the entire course. However, I am not certain if I will upload all of the lecture notes, as this will depend on the progress of my own studies and understanding.
