Colloquium – Kun Yang (Florida State University)

Condensed Matter Physics: What Happened Since Ashcroft/Mermin and Where Is It Going?

The classic textbook by Ashcroft and Mermin, titled Solid State Physics, has dominated education of graduate students in the field of condensed matter physics since its publication in 1976. Tremendous progress has been made in this field over the past 40 years, and a modern textbook replacing this aging classic is in urgent need. In this talk I will report our attempt [1] to meet this need, and discuss the recent developments in condensed matter physics along the way, emphasizing its synergy with other fields. [1] Modern Condensed Matter Physics, Steven M. Girvin and Kun Yang.
