Conquering my academic demon
Quantum field theory defeated me in my masters. Can I vanquish my demon this time?

This video is about me trying to learn quantum field theory (QFT) but really it's about what I learned about learning. Over the course of three months I came to terms with a traumatic mental health experience before my PhD, developed my knowledge of physics, and came to a whole new appreciation of being a student. I even had some help direct from a graduate student in quantum field theory at the University of Oxford! This is a very personal video, and in a way one I made for me, but I still hope you enjoy it :)
QFT resources! Here are a variety of lecture notes I used:
- Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur https://indico.cern.ch/event/957763/contributions/4025879/attachments/2117913/3598224/Quantum%20Field%20Theory%20for%20the%20Gifted%20Amateur-Oxford%20University%20Press%20%282014%29.pdf
- Oxford QFT notes: https://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/JohnCardy/qft/qftcomplete.pdf
- Cambridge notes (canonical quantisation): https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/qft.html
Note that there are also some
For a fantastic visualisation of QFT (that Thomas also helped out with) check out this phenomenal video from ScienceCLIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmG2ah5Df4g&ab_channel=ScienceClicEnglish
This video is a sequel of sorts to my Day in the Life of an Oxford Physics Student video, where I filmed my fourth year at Oxford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgiqlpDXtuU (I filmed this in movember, pls don't judge)
