Outline Motivation Feynman integral Pertubation Thoery in Quantum Mechanics Pertubation Thoery in Quantum Field Theory Green Function Feynman Diagram Experimental Connection
Motivation Compared with experiments Amplitude of final states from collision of two initial particles Cross section of collision Graphical representation and simplicity
Pertubation Thoery in Quantum Mechanics Idea of Pertubation theory H = H_0 + H_I Acquire information from H_0 Getting new eigenvector
Pertubation Thoery in Quantum Mechanics Dyson series How wave function evolute by time when H = H_0 + H_I
Pertubation Thoery in Quantum Field Theory Idea of Quantum Field Theory Number of particle Take particle and wave as the same Solution (Feynman path integral approach)
