One of Freeman Dyson's first tasks as a newly-minted
professor of physics at Cornell in the fall of 1951 was to offer
a course on quantum electrodynamics that incorporated many of the
new techniques which he, Feynman, Schwinger, Tomonaga, and others
had been developing. Dyson wrote up the notes to these lectures,
variously titled Advanced Quantum Theory or Advanced Quantum
Mechanics in mimeograph form. The mimeographs of these lecture
notes are made available for viewing here.
