Which online course is the best for learning QFT?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking an online introductory course in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) tailored for physicists with a background in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and relativity, several recommendations have emerged. David Tong's course, featuring comprehensive notes and video lectures, is highly regarded for its clarity and depth. The course is accessible through the University of Cambridge's website. Additionally, Oliver Rosten's lectures on the exact renormalization group are noted for their quality and can be found on the Perimeter Institute's website. While the term "best" is subjective, courses that receive positive feedback and engagement, such as those mentioned, are often considered valuable resources for learners transitioning into QFT.

I'm looking for a good online introductory course in QFT for physiscists (i.e. at university level, for someone who already has the basics of CM, QM and relativity, but for one reason or another worked in completely different fields). I see there are several courses online, but it is not so easy to judge which is the best. Does someone has a suggestion?

I forgot to write: I mean *video* online course, where the professor elaborates on the blackboard or a presentation (e.g. on YouTube).

Yes, I know it is about a subjective impression, but sometimes a really good course obtains more thumbs up...
 
The stuff to which I linked has links both to written notes, and to video lectures.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
