SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on recommended "Problems and Solutions" books in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) for students and enthusiasts. Key titles include "Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics: Problems and Solutions" by Ta-Pei Cheng, "Problem Book in Quantum Field Theory" by Voja Radovanovic, and two works by Walter Greiner: "Field Quantization" and "Quantum Electrodynamics," which have received high ratings on Amazon. The conversation also highlights the availability of solutions for Srednicki's QFT book draft online, emphasizing the utility of these resources for mastering QFT concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Familiarity with gauge theories
  • Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics
  • Experience with problem-solving in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics: Problems and Solutions" by Ta-Pei Cheng

Hello, as a new student of OFT and theoretical particle physics, I thought there might be good to create a thread where discussion on "Problems and solutions"-books in QFT are devoted.

There is already discussion going on about "which book is best for QFT" and also thread where McMahons book "QFT demystifed" is under investigation.

I here suggest 4 books which has the character "problems and solutions in QFT" which we may start discussion on. Feel free to add books to the discussion if you like. Books which has costumer comments on Amazon has been indicated with a star (*).

i) Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics: Problems and Solutions, by Ta-Pei Cheng, Oxford

ii) Problem Book in Quantum Field Theory, by Voja Radovanovic, Springer

iii) Field Quantization, by Walter Greiner, Springer (3.5*'s)

iv) Quantum Electrodynamics, by Walter Greiner, Springer (5*'s)

damn, I was full of hope until I scrolled down.
 
Atkinson has a problem book in QFT and also basic QM. I'm not too crazy about it. I think Greiner's books (he has one for weak interactions and QCD as well), Cheng & Li, and Radovanovic are the most useful. Also I believe that there are some solutions floating out there on the internet for the draft version of Srednicki's QFT book.

Atkinson's book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1589490312/?tag=pfamazon01-20
