SoSe 14: Advanced Topics of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
Dirk Manske
Information for students
Knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and Solid State Physics is required. This lecture intends to close the gap between standard textbook knowledge and working in research. All examples are inspired by modern experiments.
