This textbook provides a self-contained introduction to many-body theory that bridges the gap between the standard graduate curriculum and more research-oriented courses in many-body theory. The author systematically constructs the basic formalism of many-body theory, starting from Newton's second law, and subsequently develops action principles and symmetry-based techniques. Upon switching to quantum theory, second quantization and the Feynman path integral are introduced. After a treatment of statistical mechanics from an information-entropy perspective, which allows for a simple understanding of temperature dependent variational principles, the book switches to a coherent state path-integral formulation. This approach makes diagrammatic perturbation theory, linear response techniques, and renormalization group methods, which are treated in later parts of the book, accessible to a broad audience.
The content of the book is based on a set of lectures on the Quantum Theory of Solids that the author has taught at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) every year since 2022. With detailed, explicit computations and exercises at various difficulty levels, the book serves as a valuable resource for talented undergraduate students, graduate students, beginning researchers and instructors. While familiarity with variational calculus and functional integration is advantageous, the book systematically constructs the necessary tools as needed, making it self-contained, and mastery of the skills is not considered a prerequisite.
Each chapter of the book also includes a summary and a set of problems, separated into introductory and advanced levels. This setup allows readers to master concepts efficiently and helps develop their skills up to an advanced level.

About the Author
Michael Rudolf Vogl began his academic journey with a Bachelor's degree in Physics at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, completing the program in August 2011 under the supervision of Michael Thies. He continued with a Master's degree under the guidance of Oleg Pankratov and Sam Shallcross, earning the degree in 2014 and receiving a thesis prize. He then pursued doctoral studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where he completed his PhD in May 2020 under the supervision of Gregory Fiete.
Immediately after completing his PhD, he was offered an Assistant Professor position at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. Due to COVID-related travel restrictions, he joined the university in September 2021, one year later than originally planned. Since then, he has been teaching quantum many-body theory to graduate students at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
