What is "quasi particles"? Any ways to visualize this concept? I have so many troubles with this :yuck:. Need your help, guys. :blush:

I am reading the book of Mattuck :), I like his "quasi horse" but how about the "life time"?
How can I visualize the life time of a quasi horse?
Quasi-particles are collective modes or excitations that behave like particles in a material. They are not actual particles, but instead emerge from the interactions between real particles in a material.
Quasi-particles are not actual physical particles, so they cannot be directly observed. They can only be understood through mathematical models and simulations, which can be challenging to visualize and comprehend.
Quasi-particles can be found in a variety of materials, including solids, liquids, and even gases. Some examples of materials that exhibit quasi-particles are superconductors, semiconductors, and quantum fluids.
Quasi-particles are not fundamental particles and do not have their own unique properties, unlike real particles such as electrons or protons. They are instead a result of the interactions between real particles in a material.
Understanding quasi-particles is essential in various fields such as condensed matter physics, materials science, and nanotechnology. It has led to advancements in technologies such as superconductors, transistors, and quantum computing.
