Nature and Structure of Matter| Nature and Structure of Matter |
In General
> s.a. elements; particle physics [basic constituents];
phases of matter; quantum field theory.
* Evolution: The main
theme has been the idea of atomism, that has been evolving for many
centuries; In the XX century quantum theory introduced particle
indistinguishability (quantum statistics and free quantum field theory),
and transmutability (interacting quantum field theory).

* Idea: In classical
matter each particle can be considered as an individual entity, whereas
in quantum matter the behavior of particles can only be described
collectively; Many types of quantum matter (the electron gas, the magnetic
properties of many insulating materials and the normal and superfluid
phases of helium at very low temperatures) are quite well understood
theoretically despite this, but the behaviour of some forms of quantum
matter with strong correlations (high-temperature superconductors, various
exotic types of magnet, and the quark-gluon plasma) has proved much more
difficult to understand.
