Statistical field theory is of great interest to physicists. Many exciting problems in physics today can only be studied using statistical field theory. One example is the quark gluon plasma which can be formed in a high energy collision of heavy ions. Such a plasma, or soup, of the elementary constituents of matter can teach us a lot about fundamental particle interactions. Another example is the study of the early universe, where matter and energy existed at high temperatures.

统计场论引起了物理学家的极大兴趣。当今物理学中许多激动人心的问题只能用统计场论来研究。一个例子是夸克胶子等离子体，它可以在重离子的高能碰撞中形成。物质的基本成分的这种等离子体或汤可以教给我们很多关于基本粒子相互作用的知识。另一个例子是对早期宇宙的研究，那里的物质和能量在高温下存在。
