YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It's now time to dig into quantum field theories with considerably more rigor than earlier in the series. First up is quantum electrodynamics, or QED. This was the first successful QFT, combining quantum mechanics and special relativity. Let's learn what this model is all about, and how to do math with Feynman diagrams.
