The goal of this course is to introduce somewhat "advanced" topics in quantum matter, tackle truly quantum-entangled, strongly interacting, phases of matter and materials, and present how quantum matter is a particularly rich field, with many open theoretical problems.

In micrometer-scale electrical conductors at low temperatures, electronic transport is no longer governed by classical mechanics, which describes electron scattering from lattice defects and determines Drude conductivity. Instead, a quantum mechanical approach is required, where conductance is defined by the transmission of electronic waves through the conductor.
