This course gives an introduction to a choice of topics in condensed matter theory.
Starting from the basic notions of Bloch theory known from the introductory classes at Bachelor or 1st year master level, but extending them to include topological properties of matter, we make first steps in Green’s function theory to describe excitations in interacting quantum systems, and explore collective phenomena and emergent properties of matter and their theoretical description.
