Quantum Field Rules: Learn & Understand

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the rules governing small particles in quantum fields, with a participant seeking resources for better understanding. It emphasizes the importance of a solid foundation in quantum mechanics (QM) and special relativity for comprehending quantum field theory (QFT). Several resource links are shared, including a PDF document and a course from Leiden University. The participant expresses a desire to learn more about quantum mechanics despite not being in college yet. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of the subject and the need for patience and thorough study.

New to quantum fields and I am wondering what is the rule which all of the small particles follow. Or know any resources where I can learn.

Hi,

I hope you know your QM and special relativity.
Besides are you learning this in college? I am going to assume the answer is yes. This is a hard course and i suggest you follow the lessons very accurately

Here are some links :

If you got any questions, please let me know...this is my thing ... :-p

If you click on the first link, you got to have some patience before the document is actually opened...

just so you would know..

Thanks, I downloaded the same pdf document earlier today soon after I posted. I understand relativity pretty good and I need to know more in the quantum area to feel more satisfied. Quantum Mechanics resources would help a lot also. Not in college yet and just interested in relativity and quantum mechanics. So I am quite the newbie.
