内容简介

Quantum field theory is arguably the most far-reaching and beautiful physical theory ever constructed, with aspects more stringently tested and verified to greater precision than any other theory in physics. Unfortunately, the subject has gained a notorious reputation for difficulty, with forbidding looking mathematics and a peculiar diagrammatic language described in an array of unforgiving, weighty textbooks aimed firmly at aspiring professionals. However, quantum field theory is too important, too beautiful, and too engaging to be restricted to the professionals. This book on quantum field theory is designed to be different. It is written by experimental physicists and aims to provide the interested amateur with a bridge from undergraduate physics to quantum field theory. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur, possessing a curious and adaptable mind, looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually stimulating story, but who will not feel patronised if a few mathematical niceties are spelled out in detail. Using numerous worked examples, diagrams, and careful physically motivated explanations, this book will smooth the path towards understanding the radically different and revolutionary view of the physical world that quantum field theory provides, and which all physicists should have the opportunity to experience.

量子场论可以说是有史以来最广泛，最美丽的物理理论，与物理学中的任何其他理论相比，其各个方面都经过更严格的测试和验证，具有更高的精度。不幸的是，该科目因难度大而声名狼藉，禁止看似数学，并在一系列针对有抱负的专业人士的宽容而沉重的教科书中描述了特殊的图解语言。但是，量子场论太重要，太美，太吸引人而不能局限于专业人员。这本关于量子场论的书旨在与众不同。它是由实验物理学家编写的，旨在为感兴趣的业余爱好者提供从大学物理学到量子场论的桥梁。想象中的读者是一个有天赋的业余爱好者，拥有好奇心强，适应能力强的思想，希望讲述一个有趣且具有智力刺激的故事，但是如果详细阐述一些数学技巧，他不会感到受宠。本书将使用大量的工作实例，图表和仔细的物理动机解释，为理解量子场论所提供的物理世界的根本不同而革命性的观点铺平道路，所有物理学家都应有机会体验这一观点。
