Building on the Quantum Field Theory module, this module introduces three topics in advanced quantum field theory, each of which is connected to important areas of research.
Subject content
The module consists of three topics in advanced quantum field theory, of 6 lectures each. At the end of the module, a student will know and understand the key ideas of each topic and be able to solve unseen problems using these methods. They will also have an appreciation of the wider context and significance of the content.
Academic and graduate skills
The precise content is subject to change from year to year but will be announced in advance of module choices being made.
