Searching for an introductory Textbook on Fock space

[silverwhale]

Hello Everbody!

I want to learn Fock-space. Can somebody point me to a useful textbook where the basics are covered? Or even a good textbook where a chapter or two cover it?

Many thanks in advance!

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?

The Schroedinger Equation for many identical particles can be rewritten as a quantum field theory. This rewriting is called second quantization, and the Hilbert space is described as a Fock space.

The standard textbook is

A. L. Fetter, J. D. Walecka, Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems

Sorry for the very late reply. I was just too busy lately. I'll check vanhees recommendation!

I found two good books:

N. N. Bogoliubov, D. V. Shirkov, Introduction to axiomatic quantum field theory

Silvan S. Schweber, An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Field Theory

Although Fock space is only treated in certain chapters in these books I liked the concise and very clear treatment.

I'll also check atyy links! Thanks everybody! your help is very much appreciated!

atyys first two links are very good! Fetters book is also good, although I'm still working through it. I'll update when I have worked through the first chapter.
