Physics 268r: Special Topics in Quantum Matter:
Fall 2019
This is a special topics course on quantum systems of many particles, i.e. quantum matter. We will study well defined microscopic models, such as simple spin models, representing electrons in solids or atoms in optical lattices, which will be shown to give rise to remarkable new excitations, from `sound’ and `light’, to fermions and even more exotic `anyon’ excitations. Often, (but not always) we will use field theory to describe this physics, which may also help demystify the origin of quantum field theory in a physical setting free from `infinities’.
This course will make contact with recent research directions such as topological order, quantum criticality and dualities
