Quantum Field Theory

The relativistic framework in which quantum fields are the fundamental dynamical objects and particles emerge as excitations.

01

Quantum Fields

Quantum field theory combines quantum mechanics with special relativity. Fundamental entities are described by fields, and particle-like excitations correspond to quantized modes of those fields.

02

Gauge Theories

Gauge symmetry provides the mathematical structure underlying the Standard Model's description of electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions.

03

Renormalization

Renormalization provides a framework for relating parameters appearing in quantum field calculations to measurable physical quantities and managing divergent intermediate expressions.
