Description for Quantum Scaling in Many-Body Systems: An Approach to Quantum Phase Transitions
hardcover. Focusing on experimental results, this updated edition approaches the problem of quantum phase transitions from a new and unifying perspective. Num Pages: 262 pages, 39 b/w illus. 2 tables. BIC Classification: PHQ; TBN. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 247 x 174. .
Quantum phase transitions are strongly relevant in a number of fields, ranging from condensed matter to cold atom physics and quantum field theory. This book, now in its second edition, approaches the problem of quantum phase transitions from a new and unifying perspective. Topics addressed include the concepts of scale and time invariance and their significance for quantum criticality, as well as brand new chapters on superfluid and superconductor quantum critical points, and quantum first order transitions. The renormalisation group in real and momentum space is also established as the proper language to describe the behaviour of systems close to ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Scaling in Many-Body Systems: An Approach to Quantum Phase Transitions
'The book is instructive, rich, stimulating and easy to follow, providing physical insight to many quantum critical phenomena where traditional theory becomes insufficient. The author draws attention to the physical interpretation and significant implications of the mathematical results presented here. The material is aimed at advanced graduate students in condensed matter or early career researchers ... The book is very ... Read more
