After a review of the phases of matter amenable to an independent particle description, entangled phases of matter are described in an accessible and unified manner. The concepts of fractionalization and emergent gauge fields are introduced using the simplest resonating valence bond insulator with an energy gap, the Z2 spin liquid. Concepts in band topology and the parton method are then combined to obtain a large variety of experimentally relevant gapped states. Correlated metallic states are described, beginning with a discussion of the Kondo effect on magnetic impurities in metals. Metals without quasiparticle excitations are introduced using the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, followed by a discussion of critical Fermi surfaces and strange metals. Numerous end-of-chapter problems expand readers' comprehension and reinforce key concepts.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 260mmItem Length: 183mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 1240gAuthor: Subir SachdevGenre: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
