|style="color:#000"|[[Image:7623.jpg|left|100px]] This is the second core course in the sequence (PHYS 616 + PHYS 813) aimed to introduce physics graduate students to basic concepts and tools of statistical physics. PHYS 616, or equivalent taken at some other institution, is prerequisite to enroll in this course. | |||
Quantum statistical mechanics governs most of condensed matter physics (metals, semiconductors, glasses, ...) and parts of molecular physics and astrophysics (white dwarfs, neutron stars). It spawned the origin of quantum mechanics (Planck's theory of the black-body radiation spectrum) and provides framework for our understanding of other exotic quantum phenomena (Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluids, and superconductors). | |||
== | The course will focus on practical introduction to QSM via examples and hands-on tutorials using computer algebra system such as Mathematica. The examples will be drawn from the application of QSM to condensed matter physics, phase transitions in magnetic systems, astrophysics, and plasma physics, as are the areas of relevance to research in DPA. | ||
