Field Quantization is a thorough introduction to the physical ideas and techniques of this subject, starting from an elementary level. The initial chapters deal with the quantum mechanics of systems having many degrees of freedom and with classical Lagrangian field theory. Subsequently, both the traditional method of canonical quantization and the modern approach using path integrals are studied. The material is presented in considerable detail and accompanied by a large number of worked examples and exercises. TOC:Contents: Many-body systems and classical field theory.- Canonical quantization.- Pathintegral quantization., Quantum field theory is the language of modern theoretical physics. This graduate textbook presents a thorough introduction to field quantization and is based on knowledge of non-relativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics.
