PHYS-718: Condensed matter from a many-electron point of view

Summary

The course will introduce basic concepts for the description of electrons in condensed matter from a microscopic many-body approach, and relate results obtained by quantum field theoretical methods to properties of the many-electron wave functions underlying quantum Monte Carlo calculations.
