PHYS 253 - Quantum Many-Body Physics

3 units
From the perspective of quantum information science, the course builds functional understanding of phase transitions and quantum simulations via systems of interacting spins. Systems of non-interacting Bosons and Fermions will be examined, followed by an examination of interacting particles via the Hubbard model and some coverage of numerical solutions for small systems.

Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing and PHYS 161, or equivalent with approval of program advisor.
Grading: Letter graded.
