Anthony Zee is a physicist, currently a professor at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, California. He has studied anomaly (physics), random matrix theory, and other issues in theoretical physics. He has also written a textbook on quantum field theory whose title is "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell".
