Module title:Quantum Many-Body Theory
Module codePHYM013
Module lecturers:Dr E. Mariani
Module credits:15

Starting with the second-quantisation formalism, the module uses sophisticated methods (Green functions, Feynman diagrams, and relativistic and non-relativistic quantum field-theories) to analyse the various phaenomonena that arise from the presence of interactions in many-body quantum systems of bosons and fermions, including the Hartree-Fock approximation, the microscopic Bogoliubov theory of superfluidity, spontaneous symmetry-breaking and the BCS theory of superconductivity.

Please note that all modules are subject to change, please get in touch if you have any questions about this module.
