Strongly correlated quantum systems – Overview

News:

• Please note: If you plan to take the final exam, please sign up [by email to: fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde] until Fr, Feb. 12, 2021. Date and format of the exam will then be coordinated.
• Note: Problem 1 on P-set 4 has been updated.
• Repetition session: On Friday, Nov. 6, instead of the lecture we'll have a repetition sessoin about basics of many-body quantum mechanics, from 8:45 - 9:45 am (s.t.), in the usual zoom room.
• Please note: Everyone has to register on zoom to obtain a link to the zoom lecture room. If you signed up on LSF, or by an email to the lecturer, you should have obtained the registration link by now (to your @campus emails used by LSF!). If you haven't obtained the link to the registration, please send an email to fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde asap!
• Problem set requirements: To qualify for the final exam, active participation in the tutorials is expected. This can be done by:

1. Handing in 50% or more solutions for every problem set [as pdf to fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde - no later than 24 h before the tutorial] ,   OR
2. Thorough presentation of (in total) two solutions to problem sets [optional: sign up (first-come-first-serve) for a problem via fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde].

• The lecture will take place online via Zoom video conference. To participate, please sign up via LSF to obtain the link to the lecture room -- or send an email request from your campus email to fabian.grusdtATphysikDOTuni-muenchenDOTde.
