Condensed Matter Physics: A Very Short Introduction
There are many more states of matter than just solid, liquid, and gas. New states are continually, and unexpectedly, being discovered. Examples include liquid crystal, magnet, glass, and superconductor.
Condensed matter physics seeks to understand how states of matter and their distinct physical properties emerge from the atoms of which a material is composed.A system of many interacting parts can have properties that the parts do not have. Some states, such as superconductor, can act like Schrdinger's cat and exhibit the weirdness normally associated with the quantum theory of atoms, photons, and electrons. Water is wet, but a single water molecule is not.
Your brain is conscious, but a single neuron is not. Such emergent phenomena are central to condensed matter physics and also occur in many fields, from biology to computer science to sociology, leading to rich
