In these lecture notes, recent theoretical and experimental work on quantum phase transitions, in particular, in metals with strong electronic interactions will be reviewed. After an introduction to classical and quantum phase transitions, we will briefly discuss the standard model of metals, i.e., the Landau Fermi‐liquid theory, and routes to non‐Fermi‐liquid behavior. We will then focus on two different types of quantum phase transitions, magnetic quantum phase transitions in heavy‐fermion systems, and metal‐insulator transitions in heavily doped semiconductors.

These notes are from a series of lectures given at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia on some topics of current interest in quantum information. While they aim to be self-contained, they are necessarily incomplete and idiosyncratic in their coverage. For a more thorough introduction to the subject, we recommend one of the textbooks by Nielsen and Chuang or by Wilde, or the lecture notes of Mermin, Preskill or Watrous. Our notes by contrast are meant to be a relatively rapid introduction into some more contemporary topics in this fast-moving field. They are meant to be accessible to advanced undergraduates or starting graduate students.

Lecture Notes on Quantum Many-Body Theory: A Pedagogical Introduction

Tafuri, Fabrizio, C. A. Perroni, G. De Filippis

In these notes, we present a rigorous and self-contained introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods of quantum many-body theory. The text is designed to provide a solid theoretical foundation for the study of interacting quantum systems, combining clarity with mathematical precision. Core topics are developed systematically, with detailed derivations and comprehensive proofs that aim to make the material accessible to graduate students and beginning PhD students. Special attention is given to formal consistency and pedagogical structure, so as to guide the reader through both the conceptual and technical aspects of the subject. This work is intended as a reliable starting point for further exploration and research in modern quantum many-body physics.
