Many-body theory studies quantum systems consisting of a large number of interacting particles.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
