内容简介
The electron liquid paradigm is at the basis of most of our current understanding of the physical properties of electronic systems. Quite remarkably, the latter are nowadays at the intersection of the most exciting areas of science: materials science, quantum chem- istry, nano-electronics, biology, and quantum computation. Accordingly, its importance can hardly be overestimated. The field is particularly attractive not only for the simplicity of its classic formulation, but also because, by its very nature, it is still possible for individual researchers, armed with thoughtfulness and dedication, and surrounded by a small group of collaborators, to make deep contributions, in the best tradition of "small science".
