| Educational objectives | Knowledge of elementary techniques for facing quantum many-body problems |
| Prerequisites | It is essential to have coursed lectures in Quantum Mechanics, mathematical methods for Physics. The knowledge of elementary relativistic Quantum Mechanics would be very useful. |
| Teaching methods | face-to-face lectures |
| Learning verification modality | Oral exam, consisting on the answer to three questions taken from a list provided to the students during the lectures, aimet at establishing the acquisition of technical skills, and at verifying the level of understanding of the subject. The exam has a total duration of one hour. |
| Extended program | Methods of solution of quantum many-body problems for systems of independent particles and systems of correlated particles in first and second quantization. Examples and applications. Nuclear Matter as a case study. |
