I’m trying to get a grip on photon-electron physics (for purely applied engineering purposes). I know this belongs to QED, but I’m having a hard time finding a textbook.
Most books I found are on two extremes of a spectrum:
zero rigor: popular science books (e.g. Feynman's QED)
utterly theoretical: books which cover QED in a somewhat cursory way within the larger framework of QFT. QFT is too generic/theoretical for my purposes, and being a superset of QED adds too much unnecessary formalism for my purposes.
Maybe I'll pickup QFT later on, but I'm only trying to understand photons-electrons for now.
