- Knowledge of elementary techniques for facing quantum many-body problems
- Prerequisites
- It is essential to have coursed lectures in Quantum Mechanics, mathematical methods for Physics.
The knowledge of elementary relativistic Quantum Mechanics would be very useful. - Teaching methods
- face-to-face lectures
- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam, consisting on the answer to three questions taken from a list provided to the students during the lectures, aimet at
establishing the acquisition of technical skills, and at verifying the level of understanding
of the subject. The exam has a total duration of one hour. - Extended program
- Methods of solution of quantum many-body problems for
systems of independent particles and systems of correlated particles
in first and second quantization. Examples and applications.
Nuclear Matter as a case study.
