Green's Functions in Quantum Physics cover

3rd edition

Devoted to the simplest kind of Green's functions, namely the solutions of linear differential equations with a -function source. This book demonstrates the powerful and unifying formalism of Green's functions across many applications, including transport properties, carbon nanotubes, and photonics and photonic crystals.This book will be of interest to advanced students wishing to become familiar with the method of Green's functions for obtaining simple and general solutions to basic problems in quantum physics.

From the reviews of the third edition:

"The main purpose of this book is to provide graduate students, and also experienced researchers, with a clear and quite detailed survey of the applications of Green’s functions in different modern fields of quantum physics. … In summary, this book is a good manual for people who want to understand the physics and the various applications of Green’s functions in modern fields of physics. It can also be used as a starting point for studying numerical analysis in condensed matter theory." (Jean-Yves-Fortin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue, 2007 i)
