Introduction to Quantum Statistical Mechanics (Second Edition) may be used as an advanced textbook by graduate students, even ambitious undergraduates in physics. It is also suitable for non experts in physics who wish to have an overview of some of the classic and fundamental quantum models in the subject. The explanation in the book is detailed enough to capture the interest of the reader, and complete enough to provide the necessary background material needed to dwell further into the subject and explore the research literature.

• Quantum Statistical Mechanics
• Some Aspects of the Method of Secondary Quantization
• Quadratic Hamiltonians and Their Application
• Superfluidity and Quasi-Averages in Problems of Statistical Mechanics
