Many-body theory studies quantum systems consisting of a large number of interacting particles.
Many-body systems exhibit collective behavior not present in single-particle systems.
Overview
Exact solutions are usually impossible, requiring approximation methods such as perturbation theory and numerical techniques.
Key concepts
- Collective excitations
- Quasiparticles
- Emergent phenomena
Applications
Condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and quantum computing.
