Behind the Scenes of The Condensed Matter Mystics The Condensed Matter Mystics We are a band in Stockholm, Sweden. Topological Aspects of Condensed Matter Physics (Workshop and School) Directors: C. Kane, A.W.W. Ludwig, P.B. Wiegmann, M. Zahid Hasan; V. Kravtsov (Local Organiser) Topological phenomena are ubiquitous in electronic condensed matter physics. The study of these phenomena has been developed independently, but in recent years there has been a great amount of convergence. On one hand, topological phenomena have played a central role in the quantum Hall effect for many years. More recently, the non-Abelian quantum Hall states have attracted a great deal of attention, both experimentally and theoretically. On the other hand, in a completely different development taking place within the past five years, topological band insulators have been discovered theoretically, and soon after experimentally. This has led to a high level of activity in this field. The area of topological phenomena in electronic condensed matter physics is an emergent field revealing most fundamental aspects of quantum many-body physics, with potential applications to quantum computation. This two-week event will bring together leading experts in these areas with the aim of nucleating Oxford Physics Research Oxford University Here you will find videos related to research currently taking place in the sub-departments:Astrophysics; Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics; Atomic and Laser Physics; Condensed Matter Physics; Particle Physics; Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics and other interdepartmental groups such as the Beecroft Institute of Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (BIPAC), Oxford Centre for Soft and Biological Matter and the Centre for Quantum Computation. Many-Body Physics Mikhail Kiselev (ICTP) This lecture course is proposed for the students of ICTP Diploma program in Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics. This course gives an introduction to modern theoretical condensed matter physics, including the theory of strongly correlated systems (heavy fermions, high-temperature superconductors) and ultra-cold atomic gases. The emphasis will be given to the theory of cooperative phenomena (magnetism, supefluidity etc). The course is useful for students interested in theory of strongly correlated phenomena and phase transitions. -- NOTE: This course was recorded automatically in slots of one hour and processed without human intervention. Lectures are split between videos; their starting time may not coincide with the beginning of videos and intervals were not removed.
