The ideal textbook for a one-semester introductory course for
graduate students or advanced undergraduates This book provides an
essential introduction to the physics of quantum many-body systems,
which are at the heart of atomic and nuclear physics, condensed
matter, and particle physics. Unlike other textbooks on the
subject, it covers topics across a broad range of physical
fields-phenomena as well as theoretical tools-and does so in a
simple and accessible way. Edward Shuryak begins with Feynman
diagrams of the quantum and statistical mechanics of a particle; in
these applications, the diagrams are easy to calculate and there
are no divergencies. He discusses the renormalization group and
illustrates its uses, and covers systems such as weakly and
strongly coupled Bose and Fermi gases, electron gas, nuclear
matter, and quark-gluon plasmas. Phenomena include Bose
condensation and superfluidity. Shuryak also looks at Cooper
pairing and superconductivity for electrons in metals, liquid
(3)He, nuclear matter, and quark-gluon plasma. A recurring topic
throughout is topological matter, ranging from ensembles of
quantized vortices in superfluids and superconductors to ensembles
of colored (QCD) monopoles and instantons in the QCD vacuum. Proven
in the classroom, Quantum Many-Body Physics in a Nutshell is the
ideal textbook for a one-semester introductory course for graduate
students or advanced undergraduates. Teaches students how quantum
many-body systems work across many fields of physics Uses path
integrals from the very beginning Features the easiest introduction
to Feynman diagrams available Draws on the most recent findings,
including trapped Fermi and Bose atomic gases Guides students from
traditional systems, such as electron gas and nuclear matter, to
more advanced ones, such as quark-gluon plasma and the QCD vacuum
