Quantum Theory of Condensed Matter II

 

Lecture details

The lecture will be given by Professor Schoeller.

Description:

  • Central topic: Many-body theory with functional integrals
  • Optional topics are: Fermi liquids, instabilities (magnetism and superfluidity), collective excitations, Hubbard-Model, quantum magnetism, impurities and local correlations, linear transport, weak localization, Green's functions in nonequilibrium, open quantum systems, Luttinger liquids

Learning goal:

  • Deeper understanding of important phenomena in condensed matter physics based on advanced quantum field theoretical methods
