SkillsParticipants 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.•Read and explain to others modern theoretical literature in condensed matter physics
KnowledgeAfter the course, the student will understand the formulation of many-body physics in the language of coherent state path integrals and will be able to apply this to physical models for systems with broken symmetry, e.g., ferromagnetic or superconducting transitions.CompetencesThis course will provide the students with a competent background for further studies within this research field, i.e. a M.Sc. project in theoretical condenses matter physics, and it will provide the students with mathematical tools that have application in range of fields within and beyond physics.
This course is offered to both MSc and PhD students. For full course description and MSc sign-up, go to this link.
