The Physics of Emergence: Introduction to Condensed Matter Specialization

Understand the Emergence of Complex Phenomena. This specialization introduces the extensive wisdom physicists have developed regarding how to understand the emergence of complex behaviors in interacting systems with many constituent parts.

Instructor: Rahul Nandkishore

What you'll learn

  •   Define a phase of matter.
  •   Identify phases of matter using notions of symmetry, topology and renormalization.
  •   Apply ideas from condensed matter physics to understand complex phenomena in the natural world.
  •   Explain key open frontiers for condensed matter physics.
