Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)

from Professor Dave Explains · host Professor Dave Explains

It's now time to dig into quantum field theories with considerably more rigor than earlier in the series. First up is quantum electrodynamics, or QED. This was the first successful QFT, combining quantum mechanics and special relativity. Let's learn what this model is all about, and how to do math with Feynman diagrams.Script by Andrew Mattson, Physics PhD Student at Johns Hopkins UniversityWatch the whole Modern Physics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2Classical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Mathematics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathsGeneral Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Learn more about your ad choices.
