& Sondheimer, Greens Functions for Solid State Physicists Fetter, A. Texts and monographs on many-body theory: Doniach, S. The state vector "contains in it" all the dependence on the positions of particles or whatever basic degrees of freedom you consider in your system. Ever since Austrian scientist Erwin Schrodinger put his unfortunate cat in a box, his fellow physicists have been using something called quantum theory to explain and understand the nature of waves and particles. Even though many previous insights where classical physics was OK may be confirmed by the quantum physics machinery, we need a brand new setup that works for the intrinsically quantum phenomena and the proofs of "common sense" facts in the everyday world are sometimes non-trivial, don't follow from any . Quantum mechanics (QM), together with its extensions into quantum electrodynamics and quantum field theory, is our most successful scientific theory, with many results agreeing to better than a part in a billion with experiment. Using linear response theory, we demonstrate fractional quantum Hall features in a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in a corotating two-dimensional optical lattice. Thermodynamics, the crown jewel of 19th-century physics, concerns systems with many particles. The 2013 Boulder school will concentrate on two aspects of many-body quantum physics: disorder and dynamics. Quantum mechanics, developed in the 20th century, works best when applied to just a few. & Walecka, Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems Hedin, L. The corotating lattice and trap potential allow for an effective magnetic field and compensation of the centrifugal potential. Fractional quantum Hall features in the current response are seen for the single-particle system and for a few strongly interacting many-particle systems. Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules,.
