Special Issue on Quantum Field Theory
In
theoretical physics, quantum field
theory (QFT) is the theoretical framework for constructing quantum
mechanical models of subatomic particles in particle physics and quasiparticles
in condensed matter physics. QFT treats particles as excited states of the
underlying physical field, so these are called field quanta. In quantum field
theory, quantum mechanical interactions among particles are described by
interaction terms among the corresponding underlying quantum fields. These
interactions are conveniently visualized by Feynman diagrams, which are a
formal tool of relativistically covariant perturbation theory, serving to
evaluate particle processes. The goal of this special issue is to provide a
platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share,
and discuss various new issues and developments in area of quantum field theory.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on quantum field theory. Potential topics include, but are not limited
to:
-
Fields and radiation
-
Single- and many-particle quantum mechanics
-
Particle conservation and non-conservation
-
QFT and gravity
-
Renormalizability, gauge symmetry, and supersymmetry
-
Topological quantum field theory
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through
the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field
“Special Issue – Quantum
Field Theory”
should be chosen during your submission.
According to the
following timetable:
