Samlet oversigt over tid og sted for alle kurser inden for Lektionsplan for Det Naturvidenskabelige Fakultet Forår 2013 NAT |
| Undervisnings- periode: |
22. april til 23. juni, 2013. |
| Formål: |
The aim of the course is to provide the student with an overview of modern topics in quantum condensed matter systems, including broken symmetry in quantum phases (superconductivity) and renormalization group, and to familiarize them with more advanced methods. The course uses both the operator version of many-body physics taught in Condensed Matter Theory 1, and the functional path integral methods, which will be introduced in the course. In addition, the course highlights some concept of topology applied to physical systems relevant for the research areas currently covered at NBI |
| Indhold: |
The microscopic origin of superconductivity is developed starting with the description of coupled electron-phonon systems and to make a link between the operator and path integral methods this is done in both ways. Then the renormalization group method is introduced and applied to various physical systems, for example ferromagnetic transitions, dissipative quantum tunneling, quantum impurity problems, and the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. |
| Målbeskrivelse: |
Participants are expected to learn to:
Explain the mechanism behind formation of a superconducting condensate
Use mean-field theory in fermionic many-body systems using both the operator and functional integral methods.
Apply the principle of renormalization group theory on quantum simple systems.
Read and explain to others modern theoretical literature in condensed matter physics.Grade 12 is given for the independent and convincing achievement, documenting deep knowledge and insight on all aspects of the course goals. Grade 2 is given for the just acceptable achievement. |
