Quantum Spin Systems on Infinite Lattices
by Pieter Naaijkens
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 90
Description:
These are the lecture notes for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the course is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing discrete quantum systems consisting of infinitely many sites. Such systems can be used, for example, to model some materials in condensed matter physics or lattice gases.

An Introduction to Topos Physicsby Marios Tsatsos - arXiv
The basic notion of how topoi can be utilized in physics is presented here. Topos and category theory serve as valuable tools which extend our ordinary set-theoretical conceptions, can give rise to new descriptions of quantum physics.
