Description:
The purpose of this course is to provide a graduate-level introduction to quantum many-body
physics and condensed matter physics. This will include an introduction to second
quantization, Green's function formalism,Feynman diagrammatic technique, Kubo linear
response theory, Fermi liquid theory, Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity,
topological quantum matter, theory of phonons in solids, theory of disordered quantum systems (in particular,
localization), topological phases, and path integral formalism.
