Axiomatic quantum field theory
Axiomatic quantum field theory is a mathematical discipline which aims to describe quantum field theory in terms of rigorous axioms. It is strongly associated with functional analysis and operator algebras, but has also been studied in recent years from a more geometric and functorial perspective. There are two main challenges in this discipline. First, one must propose a set of axioms which describe the general properties of any mathematical object that deserves to be called a "quantum field theory". Then, one gives rigorous mathematical constructions of examples satisfying these axioms. (Wikipedia).

Quantum Field Theory 2a - Field Quantization I
In the previous video we saw how the quantum harmonic oscillator provides a model system in which we can describe the creation and destruction of energy quanta. In 1925 Born, Heisenberg and Jordan presented a way to apply these ideas to a continuous field. (Note: My voice is lower and slow

Quantum Field Theory 5c - Classical Electrodynamics III
We end with a derivation of the classical interaction Hamiltonian for a charged particle moving in an electromagnetic field. There is a lot of "turn the crank" math in this installment, but the final result will be key to our continued development of quantum field theory.
