This textbook provides an accessible introduction to quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics. It adopts a distinctive pedagogical approach with clear, intuitive explanations to complement the mathematical exposition. The book begins with basic principles of quantum field theory, relating them to quantum mechanics, classical field theory, and statistical mechanics, before building towards a detailed description of the Standard Model. Its concepts and components are introduced step by step, and their dynamical roles and interactions are gradually established. Advanced topics of current research are woven into the discussion and key chapters address physics beyond the Standard Model, covering subjects such as axions, technicolor, and Grand Unified Theories. This book is ideal for graduate courses and as a reference and inspiration for experienced researchers. Additional material is provided in appendices, while numerous end-of-chapter problems and quick questions reinforce the understanding and prepare students for their own research.

Bietenholz, Wolfgang: - Wolfgang Bietenholz is Professor of physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). His research focuses on lattice field theory with applications to elementary particles and condensed matter. He also writes articles on physics, mathematics, and the history of science for a broader audience. He studied at ETH Zürich and the University of Bern, and held previous positions at CBPF in Rio de Janeiro, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), NORDITA, and the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Wiese, Uwe-Jens: - Uwe-Jens Wiese is Professor at the University of Bern, and his research is focused on strongly interacting quantum systems in particle and condensed matter physics. He studied at the University of Hannover, and he previously held positions at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where his work has been recognized by an Afred P. Sloan Fellowship. He was a recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant for the duration from 2014 to 2019, and of a Humboldt Research Award in 2022.
