|
|
| QFT-Bench is a benchmark designed to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in quantum field theory (QFT), a fundamental theoretical framework underlying modern particle physics. |
|
|
| The benchmark consists of 75 problems covering eight QFT core areas: |
|
|
| - Classical Field Theory (Classical) |
| - Quantization of Scalar, Spinor, and Vector Fields (Quantization) |
| - Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) |
| - Regularization and Renormalization (Renormalization) |
| - Non-Abelian Gauge Theory and QCD (Non-Abelian) |
| - Electroweak Theory and the Higgs Mechanism (Electroweak) |
| - Supersymmetric Field Theories (SUSY) |
| - Conformal Field Theories (CFT) |
|
|
| ## Dataset Structure |
|
|
| The dataset is provided in `test.json`. Each problem contains the following fields: |
|
|
| | Field | Description | |
| |---|---| |
| | `num` | Problem number | |
| | `question` | Problem statement | |
| | `category` | QFT topic category | |
| | `reference_answer` | Reference final answer | |
| | `reference_solution` | Reference derivation and solution | |
| | `numeric_tolerance`, `reference_answer_alt`, `specific_requirement` | Additional evaluation instructions when applicable | |
|
|
| Mathematical expressions are represented using LaTeX. |
|
|
| ## Load the dataset |
