This is a pedagogical introduction to the general technique of bosonization of one-dimensional systems starting from scratch and assuming very little besides basic quantum mechanics and second ...

Rigorous Statistical Mechanics has a long tradition, starting in the 1960s with Dobrushin, Lanford, Ruelle, Sinai and many other mathematical physicists. Yet, surprisingly, there has not been an up-to ...

Neutrino physics is a vibrant field of study, with spectacular recent advances. To this day, neutrino oscillations are the only experimental evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model, and, 25 ...

THERE is a real need for text-books covering a self-cofitaihed lecture course on atomic physics. By depleting drastically from the historical order of development, a very wide ground may be covered ...

The intro introduced physics and linear physics, but should also introduce decomposable physics, matching the demo in basics/demo_custom_physics from #622 ...
