I have read( even Peter Donis mentioned it) that the derivation of the potential between two particles is not a true QFT, why is that? if not, then what is it?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

QFT stands for Quantum Field Theory, which is a theoretical framework used to describe the interactions between particles in the quantum world. It combines the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity to create a consistent mathematical framework for understanding the fundamental nature of matter and energy.
Zee, also known as A. Zee, is an American physicist and author who has made significant contributions to the field of QFT. His book, "QFT in a Nutshell", is considered an essential resource for anyone studying this complex subject. It presents the material in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both beginners and experts in the field.
Yes, "QFT in a Nutshell" is suitable for beginners who have a basic understanding of quantum mechanics and special relativity. Zee's writing style and clear explanations make it easier for beginners to grasp the concepts of QFT. However, it is still a challenging subject, and some background knowledge in mathematics and physics is recommended.
One of the main differences is Zee's approach to teaching QFT. He focuses on the conceptual understanding of the subject rather than just the mathematical formalism. This makes the book more accessible to a wider audience. Additionally, Zee includes chapters on topics that are not commonly covered in other QFT textbooks, such as supersymmetry and string theory.
Yes, "QFT in a Nutshell" can be used as a reference book for both students and researchers in the field. It covers a wide range of topics in QFT and provides clear explanations and examples. However, it is not meant to be a comprehensive guide, and readers may need to consult other textbooks or resources for a more in-depth understanding of certain topics.
