Quantum Theory of Condensed Matterby John Chalker - Oxford University
I aim to discuss a reasonably wide range of quantum-mechanical phenomena from condensed matter physics, with an emphasis mainly on physical ideas. The most important prerequisite is some understanding of second quantization for fermions and bosons.

The ABC of Density Functional Theoryby Kieron Burke, et al. - University of California, Irvine
DFT is not just another way of solving the Schroedinger equation. Density functional theory is a completely different, rigorous way of approaching any interacting problem, by mapping it exactly to a much easier-to-solve non-interacting problem.

Many-body Physics with Ultracold Gasesby Immanuel Bloch, Jean Dalibard, Wilhelm Zwerger - arXiv.org
This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases. It focuses on effects beyond standard weak-coupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, etc.
