Strongly Correlated Many-Body Systems: From Electrons to Ultracold Atoms to Photons
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:54:14
Abstract
This course covers the physics of strongly correlated systems that emerge in diverse platforms, ranging from two-dimensional electrons, through ultracold atoms in atomic lattices, to photons.
Objective
The goal of the lecture is to prepare the students for research in strongly correlated systems currently investigated in vastly different physical platforms.
Content
Feshbach resonances, Bose & Fermi polarons, Anderson impurity model and the s-d Hamiltonian, Kondo effect, quantum magnetism, cavity-QED, probing noise in strongly correlated systems, variational non-Gaussian approach to interacting many-body systems.
