Modern Computational Methods in Solids
by Adrian Feiguin
Publisher: University of Wyoming 2009
Number of pages: 99
Description:
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to a series of paradigmatic physical problems in condensed matter, using the computer to solve them. The course will feel like a natural extension of introductory condensed matter, with extra degrees of complexity that make the problems analytically intractable to some extent. Therefore, it will also serve as a complementary condensed matter course.

A Primer on Quantum Fluidsby Carlo F. Barenghi, Nick G. Parker - Springer
This book introduces the theoretical description of quantum fluids. The focus is on gaseous atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and, to a minor extent, superfluid helium, but the underlying concepts are relevant to other forms of quantum fluids.

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.
