QUANTUM FIELD THEORY:Quantum field theory was developed to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and special

relativity. In this theory, we consider the fields to be fundamental instead of the particles. The particles come into picture only after the proper quantization of these fields. As a result, we associate each kind of particle with a fundamental field. For example, photons arise from the quantization of electromagnetic field. Quantum field theory has vast applications in many advanced fields of study like particle physics, condensed matter physics, cosmology to name a few
