Back by popular demand, this is the third instalment on my journey to learn Quantum Field Theory. “I am waiting for another blog post.” Ben Thamm, University of Edinburgh Student Arguablly one of the most important concepts in the whole of modern physics is one of symmetry. Suppose we were to perform an experiment today, […]

Casimir Effect, Renormalisation Theory, Topology, and Sum of All $n$ for $n\in \mathbb{Z}^+$
This is the second instalment of my journey to learn Quantum Field Theory. This week, I got a preview at Renormalisation Theory and how we can use this to solve seemingly impossible physical problems, and during the process, I encountered a particularly peculiar sum… Questionable Pedagogy… I remember that in grade 10, my then maths […]
Canonical Quantisation to Establish a Quantum Theory of Fields with Harmonic Oscillators
At the beginning of this summer, I embarked on the journey of learning about the ephemeral nature of life (or, quantum field theory), as a mean of exercising the mind if you will, so that I won’t start off the new semester having to resort to google to remind myself what Newton’s second was. Much […]
