Introduction to Condensed Matter Theory
暫譯: 凝聚態理論導論

這本教科書是為高年級本科生和早期研究生設計的。它提供了熱力學、統計物理、固態物理、凝聚態物理、相變化和臨界現象等關鍵概念的全面概述。這本書非常適合用於凝聚態物理領域的多門課程，並對這些課程中通常涵蓋的基本材料進行了徹底的回顧。

與許多重點關注多體技術和複雜圖示方法的教科書不同，這本書以更易於理解的方式呈現內容。它涵蓋了廣泛的主題，包括一些通常在入門課程中不會涉及的內容，同時保持的技術水平比傳統的多體文本簡單。這本書將研究生級別的討論與本科材料整合，並在可能的情況下簡化高級主題。對於有興趣探索更具挑戰性主題的學生，書中參考了其他教科書和資源，使他們能夠加深對高級概念和方法的理解。

這本書是兩卷中的第一卷，為讀者提供了凝聚系統的微觀描述，主要關注單粒子性質。

Pedro D. Sacramento is a Professor in the Departamento de Física of Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa and a researcher at CeFEMA. He has lectured various courses in the area of Condensed Matter Physics, both at undergraduate and graduate levels. He is the co-author of two books published by IST Press, "Mecânica Quântica" and "Topologia em Matéria Condensada: Uma Introdução", written in Portuguese. The second book was also published by World Scientific with the title "Topology in Condensed Matter: An Introduction". In addition, he was co-editor of two other books published by World Scientific entitled "Topology of Strongly Correlated Systems", Proceedings of the XVIII Lisbon Autumn School, and "Strongly Correlated Systems: Coherence and Entanglement". His research has mainly focused on strongly correlated systems, integrable systems, spin coherent states, applications of quantum information techniques and topological properties to condensed matter and systems far from equilibrium. He obtained his PhD in Physics from Temple University as a Fullbright Scholar. He was a regular visitor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of The Johns Hopkins University and has been an Associate Member of the Beijing Computational Science Research Center.

佩德羅·D·薩克拉門托（Pedro D. Sacramento）是里斯本大學高等技術學院（Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa）物理系的教授，也是CeFEMA的研究員。他在凝聚態物理領域教授過多門課程，涵蓋本科及研究生層級。他是由IST Press出版的兩本書的共同作者，分別是《量子力學》（Mecânica Quântica）和《凝聚態中的拓撲：入門》（Topologia em Matéria Condensada: Uma Introdução），這兩本書均以葡萄牙語撰寫。第二本書也由世界科學出版社（World Scientific）出版，標題為《凝聚態中的拓撲：入門》（Topology in Condensed Matter: An Introduction）。此外，他還是由世界科學出版社出版的另外兩本書的共同編輯，分別是《強關聯系統的拓撲》（Topology of Strongly Correlated Systems），即第十八屆里斯本秋季學校的會議紀錄，以及《強關聯系統：相干性與糾纏》（Strongly Correlated Systems: Coherence and Entanglement）。他的研究主要集中在強關聯系統、可積分系統、自旋相干態、量子信息技術的應用以及拓撲性質在凝聚態和遠離平衡系統中的應用。他在天普大學（Temple University）獲得物理學博士學位，並曾是富布萊特學者（Fullbright Scholar）。他曾是約翰霍普金斯大學（The Johns Hopkins University）物理與天文系的常客，並且是北京計算科學研究中心的副會員。
