Hello everybody.
I'm interested in some problems of bound states in external fields in QFT (especially QED).
I wonder are there any lectures/books or reviews which provide modern treatment of this subject?
I would like to learn more about general formalism and applications in QED (I already know something about from Weinberg and Itzykson&Zyuber).
