Types of quantum field thories
Electromagnetism or electrodynamics is the gauge theory whose field is the electromagnetic field, see there for more details.
The corresponding quantum field theory is quantum electrodynamics.
Exposition of the formulation of Maxwell's equations via differential forms and the Hodge star operator:
More advanced discussion:
Discussion of electromagnetism in the generality of quantum field theory on curved spacetimes originates with
and is further developed in (e.g. regarding Hadamard states) in
