Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Master expertise.
- Have developed the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous cycle to a level that extends beyond the Bachelor's course in Physics, and which provides the basis for the development and implementation of original ideas in a professional context.
- Grow personally and professionally.
- Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
Learning Outcomes of UE
Introduce the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Introduce the renormalisation, up to one loop, in quantum electrodynamics.
Content of UE
Path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. Definition, gaussian approximation, tunnel effect and instanton technique. Feynmann diagrams in electrodynamics. Classification of the divergent diagrams involving one loop. Regularisation and renormalisation.
Prior Experience
RELAtivistic quantum mechanics
