Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter Physics
[日] 永長直人 （Naoto Nagaosa）
Overview
Condensed matter physics deals with a wide variety of topics, ranging from gas to liquids and solids, as well as plasma, where owing to the interplay between the motions of a tremendous number of electrons and nuclei, rich varieties of physical phenomena occur. Quantum field theory is the most.
