Quotation from H. Lipkin
“We can begin by looking at the fundamental paradox of the many-body problem; namely that people who do not know how to solve the three-body problem are trying to solve the N-body problem.
Annals of Physics 8, 272 (1960)
Our choice of wave functions is very limited; we only know how to use independent particle wave functions. The degree to which this limitation has invaded our thinking is marked by our constant use of concepts which have meaning only in terms of independent particle wave functions: shell structure, the occupation number, the Fermi sea and the Fermi surface, the representation of perturbation theory by Feynman diagrams.
All of these concepts are based upon the assumption that it is reasonable to talk about a particular state being occupied or unoccupied by a particle independently of what the other particles are doing. This assumption is generally not valid, because there are correlations between particles. However, independent particle wave functions are the only wave functions that we know how to use. We must therefore find some method to treat correlations using these very bad independent particle wave functions.”

Many-body theory • Electronic and optical experiments often measure some
aspect of the one-particle Green’s function• The spectral function, Im G, tells you about the single-
particle-like approximate eigenstates of the system: the quasiparticles

• Can formulate an iterative expansion of the self-energy in powers of W, the screened Coulomb interaction, the leading term of which is the GW approximation
• Can now perform such calculations computationally for real materials, without adjustable parameters.
