{"product_id":"9781800613904","title":"Field Theory of Condensed Matter and Ultracold Gases - Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a pedagogical introduction to the concepts and methods of quantum field theory necessary for the study of condensed matter and ultracold atomic gases. After a thorough discussion of the basic methods of field theory and many-body physics (functional integrals, perturbation theory, Feynman diagrams, correlation functions and linear response theory, symmetries and their consequences, etc.), the book covers a wide range of topics, from electron gas and Fermi-liquid theory to superfluidity and superconductivity, magnetic instabilities in electron systems, and dynamical mean-field theory of Mott transition. The focus is on the study of model Hamiltonians, where the microscopic physics and characteristic energy scales are encoded into a few effective parameters, rather than first-principle methods which start from a realistic Hamiltonian at the microscopic level and then make material-specific predictions. The reader is expected to be familiar with elementary quantum mechanics and statistical physics, and some acquaintance with condensed-matter physics and ultracold gases may also be useful. No prior knowledge of field theory or many-body problem is required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Europe Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48853505704171,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":325.95,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781800613904-1.jpg?v=1781704960","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781800613904","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
