Learning and Teaching Methods
The module consists of a lecture series (4 SWS) and exercise classes (2 SWS), comprising two lecture sessions and one exercise session per week.
The main teaching material is presented on the blackboard. Lectures are supplemented by weekly problem sets, deepening the understanding of core concepts through concrete calculations. Solutions to the problem sets are discussed in the exercise sessions.
Participation in the exercise classes is strongly recommended, since the exercises are aids for acquiring a deeper understanding of the core tools of condensed matter many-body physics and field theory and for practicing to solve typical exam problems.
Media
Blackboard presentations, slides.
Literature
Standard textbooks on many-body theory, e.g.:
• Elliott Lieb und Michael Loss “Analysis”
• Gerald Teschl “Mathematical Methods in Quantum Mechanics”
• Lecture-notes for different subjects will be provided during the course
Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
There will be a written exam of 180 minutes duration. Therein the achievement of the competencies given in section learning outcome is tested exemplarily at least to the given cognition level using conceptual questions and computational tasks.
For example an assignment in the exam might be:
- Show that a Schrödinger Hamiltonian where the potential has some given decay properties has an infinite number of bound states
- Show that the atomic Thomas-Fermi-Energy converges to the true ground state energy in the limit of large nuclear charge
