Problems and Solutions in Many Body Quantum Theory

This practical guidebook provides a comprehensive set of exercises which illustrate the most relevant concepts in a first course on quantum many-body theory as part of advanced undergraduate or graduate courses. The problems come with detailed solutions which can easily be followed either by professors or students. This practical guidebook provides a comprehensive set of exercises which illustrate the most relevant concepts in a first course on quantum many-body theory either as part of advanced undergraduate or graduate courses. The problems come with detailed solutions which can easily be followed either by both professors and students. Quantum many-body theory is relevant in a number of fields, from condensed matter to astrophysics. The problems proposed in this book cover this variety of topics and are illustrated whenever possible with state-of-the-art-examples. Key Features: Provides a problems-based approach to quantum many-body theory, unlike existing textbooks. In-depth solutions to problems are presented, with the aim to maximize understanding and improve the teaching experience of the subject. The multidisciplinary nature of quantum many-body theory is explored in problems that deal with nuclear physics to ultracold atoms and astrophysics.
