The goal of this course is to provide a solid introduction to the formalism, the techniques, and important physical applications of quantum field theory. Furthermore it prepares students for the advanced course in quantum field theory (Quantum Field Theory II), and for work on research projects in theoretical physics, particle physics, and condensed-matter physics.
Exercises will be distributed during the lecture every Thursday. They will be discussed during the exercise classes of Thursday, Friday and Monday.
Students who wish to hand in their solution sheets should do so during the lecture of the next Thursday. These solution sheets will be corrected. The solutions will also be discussed in the following exercise classes, before the discussion of the next exercise sheet.

This course discusses the quantisation of fields in order to introduce a coherent formalism for the combination of quantum mechanics and special relativity.
