Many-body problem
Physical problem pertaining to the properties of microscopic systems made of a large number of interacting particles
The quantum many-body problem is a general name for a vast category of physical problems pertaining to deriving the behavior of multi-particle systems using fundamental quantum-mechanical principles. The goal of many-body physics is to find new principles to describe macroscopic systems, using principles that pertain to microscopic systems.
