Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to describe quantum mechanics through path integrals, to identify classical mechanics as a limit of quantum mechanics as well as to formulate the field theory of fundamental forces of nature with scalar, fermionic and gauge fields.

Subject of course

Equivalence of path integral formalism and Schrödinger quantum mechanics.

Path integral as quantisation prescription. Path integral in field theories.

Path integral in gauge theories.

Teaching methods

Oral lecture with intensive discussion between students and the lecturer.
