After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the materials presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them, as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.
First steps to many body physics, 2nd quantization (extra lecture?), many-body Green functions, self energy and quasi particles, Feynman diagrams, perturbation theory, linear response theory, vertex and susceptibilities, polarization and RPA screening. Current research topics such as DMFT.
