A. G. Williams is a theoretical physicist and textbook author associated with the University of Adelaide.[1]
Career and work
Williams is best known in this collection as the author of Introduction to Quantum Field Theory: Classical Mechanics to Gauge Field Theories, a 2022 Cambridge University Press textbook that builds quantum and gauge field theory from advanced dynamics, special relativity, relativistic quantum mechanics, and classical field theory.[1][2]
His research and teaching context connects quantum field theory with the Standard Model, quantum chromodynamics, and lattice approaches to QCD. The Adelaide record for his article on the Standard Model, QCD, and the lattice places this work in the nonperturbative strong-interaction setting.[3]
In the Quantum Collection, Williams is linked through the further-reading list for quantum field theory, where his textbook serves as a modern self-contained route into gauge field theories.[1]
