课程大纲
The major themes of the course include the following:
1) Introduction to Quantum Field Theory: This section introduces the quantization of fields through the path integral approach and explores the connection between quantum field theory and statistical physics.
2) Lattice Discretization of Quantum Field Theory: Building on Wilson's universality principle, we will investigate the discretization of space-time and the calculation of the path integral on a lattice. We will formulate the actions of scalar and gauge field theories within this discrete framework and analyze methods to compute key observable quantities from these theories.
3) Applications of Lattice Quantum Field Theory: In this portion of the course, we will explore the modeling of various strongly correlated quantum systems using lattice quantum field theory. Specific topics will include effects observed in superfluids and superconductors, low-dimensional quantum systems, anomalous boundary effects, and the Casimir effect.
4) Modern Techniques in Lattice Simulations and Data Analysis: In the final section of the course, we will review contemporary methods for lattice simulations and data analysis, highlighting the use of machine learning and quantum computers in these processes.
