Strongly Correlated Systems in Condensed Matter Physics OpenCourseWare: A Free MIT Grad-Level Course
MIT's OpenCourseWare 'Strongly Correlated Systems in Condensed Matter Physics' was originally given in the Physics Department. Successful completion of a statistical mechanics and quantum mechanic courses would be helpful. 'Strongly Correlated Systems in Condensed Matter Physics' develops theoretical methods that can be used to describe many-body phenomena (''i.e.'' Greens functions).

Strongly Correlated Systems in Condensed Matter Physics: Course Description
The course begins with a discussion of condensed matter and atomic physics that explores effects of interactions, quantum statistics and correlations in systems of many-particles. It goes on to introduce methods and applications of quantized fields of many-body physics. It provides an overview of random phase approximation, theory of mean field, dynamics of tunneling in imaginary time, renormalization group, Berry phase and instantons. Professor Leonid Levitov taught 'Strongly Correlated Systems in Condensed Matter Physics' in MIT's Physics Department in a lecture-style format. Introductory courses in quantum and statistical mechanics would be helpful. Examples used in the course are taken from physics of condensed matter.
'Strongly Correlated Systems in Condensed Matter Physics' OpenCourseWare includes selected lecture notes, assignments, related resources and term paper topic ideas. To take this course, please visit the physics of condense matter course page.
