Overview

Class Central Tips
This course will begin by discussing superconductivity - a central example of a macroscopic phenomenon. It will then proceed to discuss various modern topics in quantum condensed matter physics, including fractionalization, anyon statistics, topology, and non-equilibrium phases. The course aims to provide learners with an appreciation for some modern topics in condensed matter physics.

Syllabus

  • Superconductivity
    • In this module we introduce superconductivity and a phenomenological (non-microscopic) theory to describe it.
  • From BCS Theory of Superconductivity to Fractionalization
    • In this module we introduce a highly microscopic theory of superconductivity known as the BCS theory. We identify a curious consequence of this theory - the phenomenon of spin-charge separation, which is a special case of fractionalization.
  • Topology in Condensed Matter
    • This module introduces the concept of topology, which plays a central role in modern condensed matter physics.
  • Non-Equilibrium Phases of Matter
    • This module introduces non-equilibrium quantum matter, a central topic in modern condensed matter physics.
