The term nite Fermi systems usually refers to systems where the fermionic nature of the constituents is of dominating importance but the nite spatial extent also cannot be ignored. Historically the prominent examples were atoms, molecules, and nuclei. These should be seen in contrast to solid-state systems, where an in nite extent is usually a good approximation. Recently, new and different types of nite Fermi systems have become important, most noticeably metallic clusters, quantum dots, fermion traps, and compact stars. The theoretical description of nite Fermi systems has a long tradition...

What makes atomic nuclei and neutron stars so similar both to domestic electricity and to stained glass in cathedrals? The answer to this surprising question lies in the unifying concept of quantum fluids, which allows one to understand the behavior and properties of such different systems in simple terms. Quantum mechanics, often considered to be restricted to the microscopic world, in fact plays a crucial role at all scales of the universe. This book introduces the reader to the fascinating and multifaceted world of quantum fluids. Suitable for all levels of reader from undergraduate...
