Quantum Spin Systems on Infinite Lattices: A Concise Introduction by Pieter Naaijkens
English | PDF | 2017 | 184 Pages | ISBN : 3319514563 | 3 MB
This course-based primer offers readers a concise introduction to the description of quantum mechanical systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom – and quantum spin systems in particular – using the operator algebraic approach. Here, the observables are modeled using elements of some operator algebra, usually a C*-algebra. This text introduces readers to the framework and the necessary mathematical tools without assuming much mathematical background, making it more accessible than advanced monographs.
