Bibliography for the Quantization of the free electromagnetic field with the Lorenz gauge
Recently I have been studying QFT and when I arrived at the Gauge theory I learned that one can quantize the electromagnetic field with the Coulomb gauge and the Lorenz gauge.
Regarding the Coulomb, I ...

Is there any good textbook to learn about gauge theory?
Is there any good textbook to learn about gauge theory (transformations, invariance, etc.) and its uses in quantum mechanics?
EDIT: I am talking about things along the lines of the Aharonov-Bohm ...
