Virtual Bootcamp on Nonperturbative QFT

16 May 2022, 09:00 → 20 May 2022, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

On line only (CERN)

These online lectures were given in preparation for the CERN TH-Institute on Nonperturbative Methods in Quantum Field Theory, as an introductory "bootcamp" to various methods in nonperturbative physics for PhD students or junior postdocs familiar with QFT:

• Nonperturbative Effects and Semi-Classical Methods (Mithat Ünsal)
• Introduction to Lightcone Hamiltonian Truncation (Liam Fitzpatrick)
• Hamiltonian Methods in QFT (Ivan Kukuljan)
• QFT from a Condensed Matter Perspective (Max Metlitski)

The recordings and any supplementary materials can be found under "Timetable" in the menu to the left.
