Topics
- Many-body quantum theory, second quantization
- Variational principle, Wick's theorem, mean-field theory
- Linear-response theory, Green's functions
- Many-body perturbation theory
- Functional approaches
- The lecture will introduce into the theory of many-body systems in the context of condensed-matter physics and focus on various theoretical techniques that address non-relativistic systems of strongly correlated electrons. The subject is motivated by challenges that are posed by material science.
