quantum mechanics - What is the required prerequisite knowledge of QM, for starting QFT?



As a physics bsc student, I have a very limited knowledge of QM:


Dirac formalism, Schrodinger equation and simple solutions (oscillators, particle in a given potential, hydrogen-like atom etc). There are more advanced QM courses I can take, but I find more interest in QFT.


What are the prerequisite subjects of non-QFT QM courses I should learn before starting with QFT?
