Which online course is the best for learning QFT?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking an online introductory course in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) tailored for physicists with a background in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and relativity, several recommendations have emerged. David Tong's course, featuring comprehensive notes and video lectures, is highly regarded for its clarity and depth. The course is accessible through the University of Cambridge's website. Additionally, Oliver Rosten's lectures on the exact renormalization group are noted for their quality and can be found on the Perimeter Institute's website. While the term "best" is subjective, courses that receive positive feedback and engagement, such as those mentioned, are often considered valuable resources for learners transitioning into QFT.

I'm looking for a good online introductory course in QFT for physiscists (i.e. at university level, for someone who already has the basics of CM, QM and relativity, but for one reason or another worked in completely different fields). I see there are several courses online, but it is not so easy to judge which is the best. Does someone has a suggestion?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I forgot to write: I mean *video* online course, where the professor elaborates on the blackboard or a presentation (e.g. on YouTube).

Yes, I know it is about a subjective impression, but sometimes a really good course obtains more thumbs up...
 
The stuff to which I linked has links both to written notes, and to video lectures.
 
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
