Summary
Unveiling the Quantum Frontier: Many-Body Systems in Condensed Matter
For decades, condensed matter physics has thrived on band theory and Landau’s symmetry breaking framework. However, the last twenty years have witnessed the rise of a groundbreaking paradigm centered on fractionalisation, topological order, emergent gauge bosons and fermions, and string condensation. These novel physical concepts hold such profound significance that they might reshape our comprehension of the univ…
