"Quantum Liquids: Bose Condensation and Cooper Pairing in Condensed-Matter Systems" by A. J. Leggett introduces the phenomena of Bose condensation and Cooper pairing, where a large number of particles or pairs behave identically, leading to macroscopic quantum effects such as superconductivity and superfluidity. The book discusses systems including liquid helium-4, Bose-Einstein condensate alkali gases, classical superconductors, superfluid helium-3, exotic superconductors, and recently stabilized Fermi alkali gases. Designed for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates in physics, it employs simple concepts and arguments, avoiding advanced formal methods.
