  • If one takes the uncertainty principle as a primitive and the unsolvability of the many-body problem as a given, it seems to me that microscopic irreversibility follows as the source of a quantum second law and the source of the arrow of time.

  • Physicists have done some good work on figuring out how far to trust computer simulations of the classical gravitational many-body problem.

    KTH, Stockholm Conference « Climate Audit 2006

  • In applying I had two criteria: the group in question should be a world-class center of excellence in many-body theory, and the environment should be as different as possible from Oxford (where I had by now spent nine years, more than a third of my life).

    Anthony J. Leggett - Autobiography 2004

  • “Nonlinear brain dynamics as macroscopic manifestation of underlying many-body field dynamics”.

    Quantum Approaches to Consciousness Atmanspacher, Harald 2006

  • Roughly speaking, this provides a quantum field theoretical derivation of ordered states in many-body systems described in terms of statistical physics.

  • And all of this is based on a main idea: The main idea of DFT is to describe an interacting system of fermions via its density and not via its many-body wave function.

  • Beginning with my experimental studies of magnetic impurities in metals and the Kondo Effect, I learned many-body physics from
