Description
Content
The concepts of second quantization; the concepts of the many-particle Green function; the equations of motion and the self-energy; diagrammatic expansions for the Green functions, Feynman graphs; dressing and re-summation of diagrams
Completion methods
Discussions, assignments, project work
Assessment details
Active participation to the course is expected. The final grade is based on a final project (50 %), and problem set (50 %).To pass the course students need to have a final score of 50 %.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to derive the basic equations of many-body perturbation theory. They have acquired a broad conceptual understanding of the basic ideas behind many-body perturbation theory as well as introductory knowledge for independently reading the research literature on many-body theory.
Additional information
Given every two years starting autumn 2018.
Description of prerequisites
Before enrolling to this course students are expected to have a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics.
