I am looking for something similar to this one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/3319533355/?tag=pfamazon01-20

But this is for QCD, I want the same for QED.
In QED, it seems that all measurable effects can be well described by the good old perturbative methods, meaning that there is no practical need for something like that. But I could be wrong.

And do you know if those methods can be used for many body problems?

Thanks for your reply.

If you mean for strongly-correlated systems such as high-Tc superconductivity, I would say that they can be used in principle, but that in practice they are not very efficient.

Ok, so basically they are neither efficient nor necessary.
