Lecture Notes

  • Lecture 13, May 14: Fermi gas, Bose gas, BEC

  • Lecture 12, May 9: Quantum ideal gas

  • Lecture 11, May 7: Phonons, Photons

  • Lecture 10, May 2: Quantum statistical mechanics

  • Lecture 9, Apr 30: Quantum statistical mechanics (preview)

    • Moved: Everything except the first section, revamped and moved to LN 10.

  • Lecture 8, Apr 25: Examples of ensemble calculations

    • Correction, Addition: Page 13, spin up and down (red). Footnote 9 added. – 11:24AM, Apr 26, 2013

    • Addition: Section 8.4.3, and footnote 1. – 2:26PM, Apr 25, 2013

    • Addition: $n = 1, 2, ...$ for Eq 6.36. – 7:37AM, Apr 23, 2013

    • Additions: Lots of small (and helpful, I hope!) additions here and there (mostly, footnote 3, a few boxes, and new texts in page 14). Please update with your note with this!1:25PM, Apr 18, 2013
