SUMMARY

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) has extensive practical applications beyond particle physics, particularly in solid state physics. It serves as a foundational framework for understanding various phenomena in chemistry, engineering, and increasingly in biology. The versatility of QFT allows it to describe nearly all areas of physics, excluding gravity, making it integral to numerous scientific disciplines.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory principles
  • Familiarity with solid state physics concepts
  • Basic knowledge of chemistry and engineering applications
  • Awareness of interdisciplinary connections in biology
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore applications of QFT in solid state physics
  • Research the role of QFT in modern chemistry
  • Investigate engineering designs influenced by QFT principles
  • Study the implications of QFT in biological systems
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, chemists, engineers, and biologists interested in the interdisciplinary applications of Quantum Field Theory in various scientific fields.

TL;DR
Are there practical applications of qft?
Hello,

I have a simple question : are there, today, practical applications of qft (elsewhere than in particle physics) ?
By applications, I mean, did we design stuff with the help of this theory ?

Thanks !

Great, thanks !
 
Since almost all of physics is describable by QFT (anything except gravity) anything that you consider as "application of physics" (which is in my opinion all chemistry and engineering and also more and more parts of biology) an "application of QFT".
