Quantum Condensed Matter Physics

Quantum Condensed Matter Physics studies the behavior of materials at very small scales, where quantum mechanics plays a significant role. It explores how atoms and particles interact, leading to collective phenomena like superconductivity and magnetism. In this context, Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) helps us understand how light (photons) interacts with matter, influencing the properties of materials. By applying these principles, researchers can unveil the fundamental processes that give rise to the diverse behaviors of solids and liquids under various conditions, ultimately impacting technology and material design.
