Posts on related topics which were not intended as part of the `Road to QFT' series, but may be of interest anyway.
Roadmap
As before, I'll post a rough list of things still to be covered. By comparing the previous roadmap to the most recent two posts, you'll notice I've done things slightly out of the order I mentioned there, so this is really a very approximate guide.
- Relativistic QM: The Klein-Gordon Equation & Spin-Zero Particles
- Relativistic QM 2: The Dirac Equation & Spin-Half Particles
- Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
- Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
- SU(2) and Electroweak Unification
- Quark Flavour Mixing
- Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and the Higgs Mechanism
- Beyond the Standard Model: Neutrino Mass Terms & Neutrino Mixing
