Theories of Quantum Matter

These are the materials for the Part III course Theories of Quantum Matter at the University of Cambridge

The master branch contains the lecture notes that are published on my site.
The branch lecture-notes-<year> contains the files with annotations made during the lectures in <year>.
View these with the Markdown viewer of your choice, ideally one that is LaTeX-aware: I recommend Typora (you will need to turn on the options for Inline Math and Equation Numbering in the preferences panel).
Alternatively you could convert to PDF using pandoc.
Feel free to submit any issues with the notes!

Switching between master (for Hugo site) and lecture notes (for Typora)

Figures for Hugo follow the format: {{< figure src="HOM.png" title="Four possible outcomes after the passage of two bosons through a beam splitter." numbered="true" lightbox="true" >}}
Figures for Typora use standard markdown

Make Typora template in the Academic style, allowing for sidenotes. Look into Tufte CSS

Nice idea for a second quantization problem: two particles hopping on a 2x2 square. Work out matrix elements for the cases of bosons and fermions, to show that fermions are not just impenetrable bosons. For fermions the configuration space is six dimensional
