Condensed matter High energy physics Quantum information

Click For Summary

Current discussions at the intersection of condensed matter theory and high energy physics focus on several key problems, including the understanding of quantum phase transitions, topological phases of matter, and the implications of holography in condensed matter systems. Researchers are also exploring the role of quantum information theory in these areas, particularly how it relates to entanglement and quantum computing. A review of recent literature reveals that topics such as emergent phenomena and the interplay between symmetry and topology are gaining traction. The community is actively seeking insights that bridge these disciplines, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. This ongoing dialogue is essential for advancing theoretical frameworks and experimental approaches in both fields.

Hey all,
I was just wondering where I could find a current review of the major problems that are being discussed at the intersection of condensed matter theory and high energy theory (+maybe quantum information)? Just looking for some inspiration on what the most "popular" problems being discussed at the intersection of the fields is right now.

Thread 'The Power of QM and QFT'

We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
