1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF 2 IMPORTANT PAPERS BY MURRAY GELL-MANN, THE 1st A "FAMOUS PAPER" IN WHICH GELL-MANN & BRUECKNER SHOW THAT RANDOM PHASE APPROXIMATION (RPA) CAN BE DERIVED BY SUMMING A SERIES OF FEYNMAN DIAGRAMS IN A DENSE ELECTRON GAS (WP; Ren, RPA, 2-3). Presenting a detailed calculation for the ground state energy of the interacting electron gas in the high density limit, this work (and another by Goldstone) represents "the earliest example.of the application of Feynman-type diagrammatic methods in condensed-matter theory" (ibid). "The consistency in [Gell-Mann & Brueckner's] results became an important justification and motivated a very strong growth in theoretical physics in the late 50's and 60's" (IPFS, RPA). The second paper, authored by Gell-Mann alone, generalizes the methods he & Brueckner developed "so that not only the ground state but also the low excited states of an electron gas can be discussed"; he also applies the new quantum field theoretical methods and calculates the specific heat of the high-density homogeneous electron gas" (Gell-Mann, 1957). While a consultant at the RAND in 1956, Gell-Mann, "was involved in a project concerned with correcting the Fermi-Thomas model for electrons in an atom. One correction, the correlation energy of the electrons, could be studied in a related but simplified situation - that of an electron gas in a uniform positive background" (Gell-Mann, Phil Mag, 74, p 432, 1996). Others had studied the correlation energy -- a measure of how much the movement of one electron is influenced by the presence of all other electrons. However their work had been criticized "for overcounting the degrees of freedom" and other divergences (IPFS). And, though "good work had.been done by David Pines on the correlation energy of an electron gas at high densities, in the straightforward perturbation calculation one of the terms diverged and on that term more work was needed. Wigner, too, "calculated the energy of such a gas in the very high density and very low density limits [but then] guessed an approximation yielding a form to interpolate at the interesting intermediate densities of electrons.RAND physicists thought that it would be useful to calculate corrections to the high-density limit in a systematic way, using an expansion, in order to get a handle on how the formula actually behaved as it neared the intermediate density region from the high density end" (GM, Phil Mag). [Gell-Mann] studied the leading divergences to each order of perturbation theory and worked on summing them [to] obtain a finite answer containing a logarithm of density" (ibid). Working together, he and fellow physicist Keith Brueckner employed a diagrammatic approach for treating electron interactions in a degenerate electron gas and were able to eliminate the divergences of the previous approaches and complete Pines' earlier calculation of the high-density correlation energy. Gell-Mann & Brueckner "published their calculation of the ground-state energy of the interacting electron gas in the high-density limit" in this paper (Joas, Quantum History). By building on "knowledge of and previous training in nuclear many-body theory and quantum electrodynamics", it is arguagbly the first systematic application of Feynman diagrammatic methods to the solid state (ibid). "A seminal result, it is often considered to be the first major accomplishment of modern quantum many-particle theory and has been an inspiration for the entire field" (WP). "Little did [Gell-Mann & Brueckner] foresee the imminent burst of activity in the field of solid state physics, entailing the successful application of field-theoretic many-body techniques to a plethora of previously unsolved problems" (Joas). CONDITION & DETAILS: 4to. 10.5 x 7.75 inches. Bound in original wraps re-backed. Very faint stamp on the front and rear wrap as well as the first page; difficult to see (see photos). Bright and clean inside and out.

1st Edition. Bound full volume. FIRST EDITIONS OF 3 IMPORTANT PAPERS: (1) Bardeen, Cooper, & Schrieffer first announced their â??BCS theory of superconductivity' in a letter included in this volume; the letter presents many of their key ideas. Their theory describes superconductivity as a microscopic effect caused by a quantum mechanical "condensation" of pairs of electrons into a boson-like state. In 1972 they received the Nobel Prize for their theory. (2 and 3) Gell-Mann and Brueckner show that random phase approximation is derivable from summing a series of Feynman diagrams. Though debated upon publication, this work proved " a seminal result. [and] is often considered to be the first major accomplishment of modern quantum many-particle theory and has been an inspiration for the entire field" (Wikipedia). BARDEEN, COOPER, SCHRIEFFER: The â??BCS theory of superconductivity' provided the first theoretical framework that "explained the known phenomena of superconductivity" (Brandt, 364). In describing superconductivity on the microscopic scale., Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer "accounted for more than 30 years of experimental results that had stymied some of the greatest theorists in physics" (Wikipedia). "BCS theory explains most of the phenomena associated with superconductivity in a natural manner. This theory involves the electron interaction through phonon as mediators. The main idea behind the BCS theory is the experimental results of the two effects, namely, isotope effect and variation of specific heat with temperature" (Rajendran, Materials Science, 12.4). Increasingly, quantum and condensed matter physicists work together on a spectrum of quantum information processing, quantum statistical mechanics, and condensed matter physics. This new frontier takes into account not simply understanding how systems work, but also how to design and control physical systems to function as desired. Common threads run through both experimental and theoretical research including: coherent control and many-body dynamics of complex quantum systems; dynamics of open quantum systems, quantum decoherence and quantum measurements; and hybrid quantum device architectures. GELL-MANN & BRUECKNER: 1st edition of a "famous paper" in which Gell-Mann and Brueckner applied new techniques to high density gases, publishing "their calculation of the ground-state energy of the interacting electron gas in the high-density limit" in this paper (Joas, Quantum History). Presenting a detailed calculation for the ground state energy of the interacting electron gas in the high density limit, this work (and another by Goldstone) represents "the earliest example.of the application of Feynman-type diagrammatic methods in condensed-matter theory" (ibid). "The consistency in [Gell-Mann & Brueckner's] results became an important justification and motivated a very strong growth in theoretical physics in the late 50's and 60's" (IPFS, RPA). GELL-MANN: 1st edition by Gell-Mann alone generalizes the methods he and Brueckner developed "so that not only the ground state but also the low excited states of an electron gas can be discussed"; he also applies the new quantum field theoretical methods and calculates the specific heat of the high-density homogeneous electron gas" (Gell-Mann, 1957). NOTE: We separately offer the Gell-Mann & Brueckner paper, and the second paper by Gell-Mann alone in a single issue in original wraps. CONDITION & DETAILS: Complete volume 4to. 10.5 x 8 inches. Small repair at the foot of the title page, front and back, difficult to spot. Very solidly bound in black cloth, gilt-lettered at the spine. Bright and clean inside and out. Near fine condition.
