Deepen the understanding of modern topics of theoretical condensed matter and many-body physics.

This course complements the lecture "Advanced condensed matter theory": aspects of that lecture will be discussed in more detail and further related material will be taught.

Lecture, assessment is based on a single examination at the end of the course.

Course examination according to § 7, statute section on "study-law regulations"

Will be discussed in the first lecture and listed in OLAT.

While the content of the lecture "Condensed Matter Theory" (taught in the winter semester) is expected to be useful, it is not a prerequisite. The lecture will be designed to be accessible to students that have not attended that lecture.

Students should be familiar with the basics of quantum mechanics, including second quantization.

• If possible, the lectures will be taught in person in the lecture hall.
• If only virtual lectures are possible: weekly live lectures via video conference, which will be recorded and made available on OLAT (along with the notes).
• To allow as many students as possible to participate in the live lectures, a survey will be set up to check everyone's availability and the time of the weekly lecture will adjusted accordingly.
• Depending upon the students' wishes and needs, the lecture will either be in English or German.
