Leonard Susskind gives the fourth lecture of a three-quarter sequence of courses that will explore the new revolutions in particle physics. In this lecture he continues on the subject of quantum field theory.

Recorded: October 26, 2009

1. Light and Particles
2. Quantum Field Theory
3. Quantum Fields
4. Quantum Field Theory II
5. Energy Conservation, Waves and Fermions
6. The Diary Equation and Higgs Particles
7. Angular Momentum
8. Particle Spins and Dirac Equation
9. Equations of Quantum Field Theory
10. The Diary Equation and Higgs Particles II

This course is a continuation of the Stanford Continuing Studies course exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. It introduces students to the basic concepts of particle physics. The next course in this series focuses on the Standard Model. Leonard Susskind, Felix Bloch Professor of Physics, received a PhD from Cornell University and has taught at Stanford since 1979. He has won both the Pregel Award from the New York Academy of Science and the J.J. Sakurai Prize in theoretical particle physics. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
