This course covers the physics of strongly correlated systems that emerge in diverse platforms, ranging from two-dimensional electrons, through ultracold atoms in atomic lattices, to photons.
Learning objective
The goal of the lecture is to prepare the students for research in strongly correlated systems currently investigated in vastly different physical platforms.
Content
Feshbach resonances, Bose & Fermi polarons, Anderson impurity model and the s-d Hamiltonian, Kondo effect, quantum magnetism, cavity-QED, probing noise in strongly correlated systems, variational non-Gaussian approach to interacting many-body systems.
Lecture notes
Hand-written lecture notes will be distributed.
Prerequisites / Notice
Knowledge of Quantum Mechanics at the level of QM II and exposure to Solid State Theory.
