    Graduate Lectures in Theoretical Physics

    Quantum Theory of Condensed Matter


    Bibliography

    Background
    N W Ashcroft and N D Mermin Solid State Physics, Holt-Sanders (1976). I assume familiarity with this
    material.
    S-K Ma Statistical Mechanics, World Scientific (1985). Strongly recommended book at a level suitable for
    first year graduate students.
    J-P Blaizot and G Ripka Quantum Theory of Finite Systems, MIT (1986). A very thorough treatment of
    second quantisation, canonical transformations and self-consistent field approximations.
    Recent Graduate Texts
    A. Altland and B. D. Simons Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter Physics, CUP (2006). An
    accessible introduction to the subject.
    S. Sachdev Quantum Phase Transitions, CUP (1999).
    An advanced survey of theoretical approaches to this subject.
    H. Bruus and K. Flensberg Many Body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics, OUP (2004).
    A detailed introduction to techniques and a discussion of topics of current interest, especially in connection
    with mesoscopic conductors and quantum dots.
    X.-G. Wen Quantum Field Theory of Many-Body Systems, OUP (2004). An outline of basic material
    followed by an introduction to some advanced topics (topological order, the fractional quantum Hall effect,
    and spin liquids).
    A. M. M. Tsvelik Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter Physics, CUP (1995). A concise survey of
    applications of field theory to condensed matter problems, especially in one dimension.
    A. Auerbach Interacting Electrons and Quantum Magnetism, Springer (1994).
    A reasonably gentle introduction to a range of current theoretical ideas.
    General Texts
    P W Anderson Concepts in Solids, Benjamin (1963). Perhaps the best place to start reading about quantummechanical aspects of solid state physics at a postgraduate level.
    C Kittel Quantum Theory of Solids, Wiley (1963). [N.B. not the undergraduate text by the same author].
    Includes most of the material covered in the first third of the lecture course.

    account of Fermi liquids.
    P W Anderson Basic Notions in Condensed Matter Physics, Benjamin (1984). An advanced discussion of
    some of the most important ideas in the subject.
    A. J. Leggett Quantum Liquids, OUP (2006). A clear and wide-ranging discussion of Bose condensation
    and Cooper pairing.
