Qed: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (Princeton Science Library)

著者 : Richard PhillipsFeynman

• Princeton Univ Pr (2006年4月4日発売)

作品紹介・あらすじ

Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world, Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here, Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman clearly and humorously communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zee's new introduction places both Feynman's book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman's uniquely appealing and illuminating style.

本当に芯から理解しているファインマン教授だからこそ書けた、専門家以外にもわかりやすい量子電磁力学（ＱＥＤ）の本。英語も平易です。物理の専門家ではない私でも７，８割は理解できた気がします。物理・化学学徒の方でも、専門書に入る前に読んでおくとイメージがつかめて学習効率は上がると思います。
