The Standard Model
Welcome
Professor David Tong
I’m a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge. My job is to try to understand the laws of physics at the deepest level and explain them to others.
Everything is Fields
I've got a new book coming out!
Everything you ever wanted to know about quantum fields: engaging, mind-blowing, and very occasionally funny. Pre-order now. It's not coming out until March 2027 and by that time you'll have forgotten you ordered it and it will be a nice surprise when it drops through your letterbox.

Textbooks
My Textbooks
I wrote a series of textbooks, published by Cambridge University Press. They are, in my unbiased and entirely objective opinion, the greatest textbooks on theoretical physics ever written.
Teaching
Lecture Notes
I've written lecture notes covering different topics in theoretical physics. There are samples below and many more on my teaching page.
