>How do you excite the electron field?
You dump energy into it. When you excite the electron field, you're creating an electron, any process that creates an electron is exciting the electron field.
>"when you excite it you get an electron": you mean that you "take an electron out" the electron field?
Electrons are excitations of the electron field, you aren't taking them out of anywhere. When you throw a rock in a lake and get waves, are you taking waves out of the lake?
>Is quantum field theory the branch of physics that explains this stuff?
Yes
>Any article or text or book where I can read about it at a beginner level (but including the maths if possible)?
The math behind QFT is fairly complex, most texts don't show the actual math, unless it's an actual qft textbook. If that doesn't deter you, Student friendly quantum field theory is a great book, but unless you have a high level of mathematical/physics knowledge, it'll be difficult. At a minimum, you need calculus, differential equations, special relativity and understanding of the Schrödinger equation to make it through the first few chapters.
Get this book.
Also, this book seems good. Granted I knew QFT by the time I started reading that book.
QFT is hard. Obtaining an thorough understanding it is probably the hardest thing I've ever accomplished in my life. To be honest, nothing that can be understood via words or verbal explanations will lead you to understanding QFT. You HAVE to work through the math. The words which we use to describe "virtual particle" fail the concept so miserably that we might as well not try (in my opinion).
If Griffith's is the furthest you'll go in QM and an UG book is the furthest you'll go in CM, you'll have a rough task ahead of you. Luckily, Klauber is EXTREMELY thorough and walks you through everything.
