This venerable subject provides the crucial bridge between the long established quantum mechanics and the still hypothetical string theory.\u003ci\u003e Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible\u003c\/i\u003e provides an essential primer on the subject, giving readers the conceptual foundations they need to wrap their heads around one of the most important yet baffling subjects in physics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQuantum field theory grew out of quantum mechanics in the late 1930s and was developed by a generation of brilliant young theorists, including Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman. Their predictions were experimentally verified to an astounding accuracy unmatched by the rest of physics. Quantum field theory unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity, thus providing the framework for understanding the quantum mysteries of the subatomic world. With his trademark blend of wit and physical insight, A. Zee guides readers from the classical notion of the field to the modern frontiers of quantum field theory, covering a host of topics along the way, including antimatter, Feynman diagrams, virtual particles, the path integral, quantum chromodynamics, electroweak unification, grand unification, and quantum gravity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA unique and valuable introduction for students and general readers alike, \u003ci\u003eQuantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible\u003c\/i\u003e explains how quantum field theory informs our understanding of the universe, and how it can shed light on some of the deepest mysteries of physics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA.
