Description
The methods of quantum field theory underpin many conceptual advances in contemporary condensed matter physics and neighbouring fields.
This book provides a praxis-oriented and pedagogical introduction to quantum field theory in many-particle physics, emphasizing the application of theory to real physical systems.
This third edition is organized into two parts: the first half of the text presents a streamlined introduction, elevating readers to a level where they can engage with contemporary research literature, from the introduction of many-body techniques and functional integration to renormalization group methods, and the second half addresses a range of advanced topics including modern aspects of gauge theory, topological and relativistic quantum matter, and condensed matter physics out of thermal equilibrium.
At all stages, the text seeks a balance between methodological aspects of quantum field theory and practical applications.
Extended problems with worked solutions provide a bridge between formal theory and a research-oriented approach.
