• Basic Information: This is a graduate level course for those whose major is theoretical condensed matter physics. The background needed is Advanced Quantum Mechanics, and preferably Quantum Field Theory and Solid State Theory. Only selected students are permitted to register in this course. More Information about this course is :

• In this course and possible forth coming courses, we will mainly talk aboutDo be prepared to have a lot of free time if you take this course as there will be heavy readings and derivations as assignments of this course.
  

  Unlike my other courses such as Solid State Theory, there are many discussion sessions of this course. Therefore, I only take registered students in my class.
  

  Please study Wu's General Course Policies before you register.
