Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible

"Quantum Field Theory, as simply as possible" is a comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory, regarded as one of the most successful yet mysterious theories in physics. This textbook provides a clear and accessible explanation of the concepts necessary to understand the complex relationships between quantum mechanics and special relativity. The author, A. Zee, employs his characteristic style to guide readers through the development of quantum field theory, which emerged in the late 1930s and was shaped by prominent theorists such as Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman. The book covers a variety of topics, including antimatter, Feynman diagrams, virtual particles, and the fundamentals of quantum chromodynamics. It is aimed at both students and general readers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of physics.
