Microscopic approaches to quantum liquids in confined geometries (Series on advances in quantum many-body theory, vol. 4)

This volume assembles review articles that present the status of frontline research in this field in a manner that makes the material accessible to the educated, but non-specialist reader. The articles focus on the many-body aspects of the theory of quantum liquids in confined geometry. Research is in the very satisfactory situation where several accurate approaches are available that allow one to describe these systems in a quantitative manner without modelling uncertainty and uncontrolled assumptions. For examples, dynamic situations of direct experimental relevance can be modelled with high accuracy.
