Overview

This course aims to:

• Introducing the second quantization and using it in the intensive case

• Definition of Green's functions at absolute zero

• To be familiar with the Feynman problem and Dyessen's equations

• Identify Green's functions at a specific temperature

• Be able to describe hyperconduction using quantization II and learn about BCS theory

Intended learning outcomes

By studying this course the student will be able to:1- Explain the second quantification.2- Explain the interaction between quantum domains between electrons and the crystal.3- The second quantization is explained in terms of Greene's functions at the temperature of absolute zero,4- Links between the modern theories of the second quantization and the phenomenon of hyperconduction.5- Explain the interactions that occur between quantum domains between multiple particles.6- Green's functions are applied to solve a scientific research question.7- Design a model that describes the quantization phenomenon in the condensed case.8- Deduce indicators that describe the extent to which the theoretical model relates to the experimental reality.
