Professor Jim Halverson is affiliated with Northeastern University's Department of Physics, where he teaches graduate-level Quantum Field Theory (PHYS 7325). His course covers foundational elements, renormalization, symmetry, and condensed matter applications.
The course utilizes textbooks such as Zee's Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell, Altland and Simons' Condensed Matter Field Theory, and Peskin & Schroeder's An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory. The curriculum emphasizes path integrals, Feynman diagrams, gauge fields, and advanced topics like the Anderson-Higgs mechanism.
Assessment includes collaborative homework (40%), an in-class midterm (20%), and a take-home final (40%). Office hours are held in Dana 226 on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:20-9:50 AM.
