Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students will acquire an in-depth knowledge of the concepts, models and methods of modern electronic structure theory. The students will be provided with the necessary skills and problem-solving tools
to address and solve subject-specific problems in condensed-matter physics.

Modern electronic structure methods for solids and molecules (linear combination of plane wave and atomic orbitals); lattice vibrations and phonons; Density Functional Theory, Hartree-Fock method and configuration interactions; many-body perturbation theory, second quantization, introduction to Quantum Field Theory, Feynman diagrammatic methods.
