This comprehensive book provides a powerful and versatile framework for understanding complex problems in systems such as ultracold atoms, superfluids, and superconductors.

The text begins with a solid foundation in canonical quantum field theory before progressing to advanced topics, ensuring readers develop both deep conceptual understanding and practical skills.

Features include:

• Concise yet thorough coverage of path integral methods
• Practical applications to real-world quantum systems
• Problem-solving techniques that bridge theory and experiment

Designed for graduate students in physics and related disciplines, this book serves as an essential resource for those aiming to advance their studies in quantum mechanics. Researchers in condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and quantum information will also find valuable insights to support their work on the next breakthroughs in the field.

About this title

About the Author

Luca Salasnich is a full Professor in Theoretical Physics of Matter at the Department of Physics and Astronomy "Galileo Galilei" of the University of Padova and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. His fields of research are condensed matter theory and statistical physics. In particular he studies nonlinear phenomena (chaos, solitons, and vortices) and macroscopic quantum effects (Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and superconductivity) in ultracold atomic gases and other many-body systems by using analytical and numerical methods.
