Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter (QFTCM)7.5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter)

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter
    (Hauptseminar, 3 SWS, Philipp Hansmann, Mo, Mi, 9:00 - 11:00, Zoom-Meeting; Bei ungünstigen Überschneidungen können die Uhrzeiten angepasst werden.)
  • Tutorial for Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter
    (Übung, Philipp Hansmann, Do, 11:00 - 13:00, Zoom-Meeting)

Inhalt:

Quantum field theory is nowadays the standard formalism underlying methods to tackle quantum many-body systems. This lecture introduces basic concepts of QFT in the context of Condensed Matter physics. With practical applications in focus the lecture aims at the advanced theory student who intends to start or already started research projects in the field. Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is a prerequisite. Knowledge of advanced QM concepts like second quantization and basic solid state phyics are advantageous but will be repeated (in swift pace) at the beginning of the lecture.
Tentative scope of the lecture (not necessarily complete):

• Repetition of second quantization

• Effective lattice models in Solid State Physics

• Single particle Green's functions and Self-energies

• Perturbation Theory (Feynman diagram technique)

• Linear response theory (Screening)

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students

• explain the relevant topics of the lecture

• apply the methods to specific examples
  

Bemerkung:

May be applied to specialisation ’Theoretical physics’
