A multidisciplinary approach to quantum field theory. Volume 2, Advanced topics /
Quantum field theory is the theory of many-particle quantum systems. Just as quantum mechanics describes a single particle as both a particle and a wave, quantum field theory describes many-particle systems in terms of both particles and fields.
