Prerequisite

PH625

Overview

This course aims to introduce the student to the principles of quantum field theory, to master the principles of the second quantization, and to know the methods of interaction between different quantum fields of different ranks in scientific research. It covers topics of photons, electromagnetic field, Klein-Gordon field, Dirac field, Photons covariant theory, and Radiative correction.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the study of this course, the student will be able to:1- Explain classic electromagnetic field equations and on the second gagging image of different fields.2- Feeling forms that describe the quantitative interaction between different fields.3- Distinguish between Finmann forms that describe the interaction of quantitative areas.4- Develop the rank and severity of the quantitative interaction of different fields.5- Explains research related to the quantitative theory.6- Develop the indicators that describe the extent of association of the theoretical model as the scientific practical reality.
