Quantum physics is based on four fundamental interactions of electromagneticweakgravitational and strong forces. All the interactions are expressed in terms of fermion and boson fields which can describe the quantum states of electronsnucleons and photons in atoms or nuclei. Correct behaviors of these particles can now be described by the basic field theory terminologyand this textbook explainsfor the first timequantum field theory in a unifying method.

At presentmodern quantum theory is at a critical junction between different theoriesand this textbook presents a clear description of fundamental quantum fields with a sound theoretical framework. No exotic theoretical concepts such as general relativity nor spontaneous symmetry breaking nor quantum anomaly are adopted in this textbookand indeed all the observed physical quantities can be well understood within the standard field theory framework without introducing any non-physical particles or fields.

From this textbookreaders will be guided through a concrete future direction of quantum field theory and will learn how the motion of electrons in any kind of material can be understood in terms of fields or state vectors. Readers will also learn about application of basic field theory in quantum chemistryquantum biology and so on.

Fundamental Problems in Quantum Field Theory is a handy resource for undergraduate and graduate students as well as supervisors involved in advanced courses in quantum physics.
