Plans for week 37

Dear all, welcome back to FYS4480/9480.

This week we will use the lecture on Thursday to summarize our discussions on Wick's theorem, with examples and discussions of the exercise set this week.

On Friday we will introduce a new reference vacuum state and the so-called particle-hole formalism, widely used in condensed matter physics, materials science, quantum chemistry and nuclear physics.

For Wick's theorem, chapters 3 and 4 of Shavitt and Bartlett is an ok read. idem for the particle-hole formalism.

Lecture Material: slides from https://manybodyphysics.github.io/FYS4480/doc/pub/week37/pdf/week37.pdf.

Fourth exercise set at https://github.com/ManyBodyPhysics/FYS4480/blob/master/doc/Exercises/2024/ExercisesWeek37.pdf

The solution to the exercises from week 36 are at https://github.com/ManyBodyPhysics/FYS4480/blob/master/doc/Exercises/2024/AnswersWeek36.pdf

Best wishes to you all,

Morten and Ruben
