QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

Book • 1985
In this book, Richard Feynman provides a lively and accessible introduction to QED, an area of quantum field theory that describes the interactions of light with charged particles.

Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned Feynman diagrams instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman explains what physicists are doing when making predictions about the behavior of light and electrons.

The book covers topics such as probability amplitudes, the wavelike properties of photons, and electron-photon interactions, making complex concepts comprehensible to a broad audience.
