Complex Quantum Systems: Analysis Of Large Coulomb Systems

Download or read book Complex Quantum Systems: Analysis Of Large Coulomb Systems written by Heinz Siedentop and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on lectures given during the program “Complex Quantum Systems” held at the National University of Singapore's Institute for Mathematical Sciences from 17 February to 27 March 2010. It guides the reader through two introductory expositions on large Coulomb systems to five of the most important developments in the field: derivation of mean field equations, derivation of effective Hamiltonians, alternative high precision methods in quantum chemistry, modern many-body methods originating from quantum information, and — the most complex — semirelativistic quantum electrodynamics.These introductions are written by leaders in their fields; amongst them are Volker Bach, Rafael Benguria, Thomas Chen, and Jan Philip Solovej. Together, they fill a gap between current textbooks and the vast modern literature on complex quantum systems.
