一、課程說明(Course Description)
The course provides an introduction to the quantum theory of many electron
systems, which can be metals or doped semiconductors. The students will learn
the standard perturbation theoretical technique, e.g., Feynman diagrammatic
method, for treating such systems.
The students are required to have backgrounds in quantum mechanics at the
introductory level.
二、指定用書(Text Books)
