====== Condensed Matter Physics ====== <tabbox Intuitive> <note tip> Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party. </note> <tabbox Concrete> * Condensed Matter Field Theory by A. Altland and B. Simons (book) <tabbox Abstract> <note tip> The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//. </note> <tabbox Why is it interesting?> <blockquote>It is possible to present condensed-matter physics as interesting, compelling, and even inspiring. Emergence, universality, and symmetry are powerful, amazing ideas. The same essential physics that holds up a white dwarf star is a key ingredient in what makes solids solid, whether we’re talking about a diamond or a block of plastic. Individual electrons seem simple, but put many of them together with a magnetic field in the right 2D environment and presto: excitations with fractional charges. Want electrons to act like ultrarelativistic particles, or act like their own antiparticles, or act like spinning tops pointing in the direction of their motion, or pair up and act together coherently? No problem, with the right crystal lattice. This isn’t dirt physics, and it isn’t squalid.<cite>https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.3.20181219a/full/</cite></blockquote> /*<tabbox FAQ>*/ /*<tabbox History>*/ </tabbox>
