Niklas Beisert
Niklas Beisert (born 1977 in Hamburg) is a German theoretical physicist, known for his research on quantum field theory and string theory. Biography Niklas Beisert is the son of the architect and art historian Anna Katharina Beisert-Zülch (of the University of Hildesheim) and the architect Thomas Beisert (of the company ''APB Planungsgesellschaft mbH Architekten''). Anna Katharina Beisert-Zülch's father was the neuroscientist (1910–1988). Niklas Beisert studied physics, as a scholarship holder of the ''Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes'' (German Academic Scholarship Foundation), at the Technical University of Munich from 1996 to 2001, when he received his ''Diplom''. For the academic year 1999–2000 he attended an M.Sc. course at Imperial College London. After receiving his ''Diplom'' he was a researcher the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Golm (Potsdam), Golm-Potsdam. In 2004 he received his doctorate from the Humboldt University of Berlin. His doctoral d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quantum Field Theory
In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines Field theory (physics), field theory and the principle of relativity with ideas behind quantum mechanics. QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles. The current standard model of particle physics is based on QFT. History Quantum field theory emerged from the work of generations of theoretical physicists spanning much of the 20th century. Its development began in the 1920s with the description of interactions between light and electrons, culminating in the first quantum field theory—quantum electrodynamics. A major theoretical obstacle soon followed with the appearance and persistence of various infinities in perturbative calculations, a problem only resolved in the 1950s with the invention of the renormalization procedure. A second major barrier came with QFT's apparent inabili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
