Quantum Mechanics and Field Theory Georgia Tech PHYS-7147 spring 2003 Tue, Thu 09:35-10:55 Howey S204 Tue Mar 18 and Thu Mar 20 we have a guest lecturer: Professor Michael Loss, School of Mathematics Prof. Loss will lecture on Dirac spinors (this year is the 75th anniversary of the Dirac equation), and, time permiting, on spin-1 particles and photons. We already have free scalar field propagator, and with the spin 1/2 and spin 1 propagators we will be ready to start developing QED Feynman diagrammatic expansions. Reading: -------- any QM or QFT book that discusses the Dirac equation should do. I have no special notes on this. Assignement 6: -------------- due morning Tue Mar 25 2003 Unless Prof. Loss gives you a different set of problems, work out the gamma-matrix exercises on the course homepage, http://cns.physics.gatech.edu/~predrag/courses/PHYS-7147-03/Frdk483-1.3-4.ps Predrag
