Eps 1: condensed matter
Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state.
The authors visualize how the devil's staircase ordering impacts mobile electrons and collapses the well-defined band picture at the Fermi energy.
A Laughlin state is a phase of matter that has remarkable features, such as excitations that behave as a fraction of a particle.

It is one of the largest subfields of physics and closely linked to all disciplines. It plays an important role in the study of condensed matter and its interactions with other substances. There are a number of rich and fascinating questions about the physical world arising from the discovery of new materials and their interaction with each other and with the environment.
Condensed matter research in Minnesota spans a wide range, including strange properties of nanoscale electricity that could truly be considered the ultimate science. Condensed matter physics is one of the largest branches of physics in the United States, and there is great interest in understanding the underlying laws of its interactions with other materials and with the environment.
A typical system consists of many individual particle units that fuse into a medium with new and often surprising properties such as electrons, protons, neutrons, electrons and neutrinos.
One of Cornell's strongest areas of research is quantum materials, which correlate with many of the areas we focus on here at Duke. Topics we actively pursue include the development of new materials for quantum computing, quantum information processing and quantum optics. Research in this area, a particular strength of Cornell, involves the production of quantum materials - correlated materials with a wide range of properties.
Cornell physicists have developed the ability to build structures at less than 10 nm, guide the assembly of nanometer-scale objects, and integrate them into functional devices. Nanostructure physics has been a pioneer at Cornell, and we remain a leader in this field, with a constantly updated collection of research papers, books, conferences, and other publications.
Theoretical physics of condensed matter involves understanding the properties and states of matter, and current work involves the use of quantum mechanics to understand the physical properties of these states and the interactions between them. These include models that investigate the electronic properties of solids such as quantum computers and quantum mechanical devices.
Research into the physics of condensed matter involves the measurement of various material properties with experimental probes and the application of methods of theoretical physics to develop mathematical models that help to understand physical behavior. Modern theoretical studies involve understanding the properties and properties of materials and their interactions with other materials. Theoretical models have been developed to investigate the interactions between different materials such as atoms, molecules and molecules of different states of matter.
This field overlaps with chemistry, materials science, engineering and nanotechnology and is closely linked to atomic physics and biophysics. It was treated as an independent area until the 1940s, when it was grouped together with solid state physics.
Much interesting emerging physics has been discovered under extreme conditions on atomic length scales. The physics of condensed matter is the study of condensed phases of liquid matter such as liquid hydrogen, liquid helium and liquid nitrogen. Yakov Frenkel proposed to develop the kinetic theory of liquids accordingly.
One of Cornell's main research focuses is on the physics of condensed phases of liquid matter such as liquid hydrogen, liquid helium, and liquid nitrogen. This diversity of conditions offers the opportunity for experimental studies that are not available in combination at other faculties of the university.
In atomic physics, the focus is on quantum fluids from atoms with spins that can simultaneously exhibit the properties of superfluids and ferromagnets, as well as on the development of new methods for imaging magnetic fields on micrometer length scales.
Current research in low-temperature physics focuses on space-based applications, such as the development of high-energy magnetic fields. The Materials Theory Group, which deals with the physics of condensed matter and its applications in materials science and technology, focuses on superfluids and helium systems. Since Richardson and Lee Osheroff won the Nobel Prize for their work in the early 1990s, the superfluid helium system has become a key tool for testing a variety of interesting theories.
One focus is on the development of the structural and thermodynamic properties of these materials, but research can range from bulk materials and liquids to diluted gases and emphasizes the use of superliquid helium as a model for the development of high-energy magnetic fields. Abe's concern is the investigation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena, as well as the application of quantum mechanics to the physics of condensed matter.
