	Quantum field theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quantum field theory originated in the problem of computing the energy radiated by an atom when it dropped from one quantum state to another of lower energy.
		For example, in every quantum theory the global phase of the wave function is arbitrary and does not represent something physical, so the theory is invariant under a global change of phases (adding a constant to the phase of all wave functions, everywhere); this is a global symmetry.
		In quantum electrodynamics this gauge field is the electromagnetic field.

		In particular, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, known as quantum electrodynamics, is one of the most well-tested and successful theories in physics.
		It was discovered that quantum mechanical particles of the same species are indistinguishable, in the sense that the wavefunction of the entire system must be symmetric (bosons) or antisymmetric (fermions) when the coordinates of its consituent particles are exchanged.
		The procedure by which quantum fields are constructed from individual particles was introduced by Dirac, and is (for historical reasons) known as second quantization[?].

	Quantum Field Theory
		Quantum field theory can be developed by adopting the path integral formulism as mentioned earlier, or by combining the field equation with canonical quantization as shown in the next sub-topic.
		A renormalizable theory is one in which the details of a deeper scale are not needed to describe the physics at the present scale, save for a few experimentally measurable parameters (see more in the section about "Renormalizable Theories").
		In quantum theory, the interaction between an electron and a magnetic field can be portrayed by the Feynman diagram in Figure 08a, which shows a photon from the magnetic field is absorbed by the electron and thus altered its trajectory.

		The fundamentals of quantum field theory were developed between the late 1920s and the 1950s, notably by Dirac, Pauli, Tomonaga, Schwinger, Feynman, and Dyson.
		It was discovered that quantum mechanical particles of the same species are indistinguishable, in the sense that the wavefunction of the entire system must be symmetric (bosons) or antisymmetric (fermions) when the coordinates of its constituent particles are exchanged.
		This is one of the many attempts to put quantum field theory on a firm mathematical footing.

		For technical as well as for emotional reasons, many approaches to quantum gravity go out of their way to reinsert in the theory what GR is teaching us we should abandon: a preferred time.

	Topological Quantum Field Theory
		Besides general relativity and quantum field theory as usually practiced, a third sort of idealization of the physical world has attracted a great deal of attention in the last decade.
		At first glance, general relativity and quantum theory look very different mathematically: one deals with space and spacetime, the other with Hilbert spaces and operators.
		Quantum topology is very technical, as anything involving mathematical physicists inevitably becomes.

	Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics and String Theories
		Strings are described as probabilistic ripples (waves) of spacetime (NOT in a quantum field) propagating through spacetime at the speed of light.
		The same formalism used to describe ripples in quantum fields (i.e., elementary particles) is, therefore, applied.
		The theory is symmetric in relation to all curled Universe ("curl-symmetric").

	Ten Semi-Grand Challenges for Quantum Computing Theory
		This is a personal, idiosyncratic list, written at the suggestion of Boaz Barak in connection with the Theory Matters wiki.
		For almost a century, physicists and philosophers have debated whether the components of a quantum state are "really there" (some would say inhabiting parallel universes), or are "mere potentialities" until the act of measurement makes one of them real.
		We can address this question by studying two complexity classes: QMA (Quantum Merlin-Arthur), which is like NP except that the verification algorithm is quantum and the yes-witnesses are quantum states; and BQP/qpoly, or BQP with a polynomial-size quantum advice state that depends only on the input length.

		If you are interested in the second part of the course, you may check your understanding by inspecting Non-abelian gauge theories first.
