2 Quantum matter with quasiparticles: Landau quasi-particles & holes Phonon Magnon Roton Plasmon Polaron Exciton Laughlin quasiparticle Bogoliubovon Anderson-Higgs mode Massless Dirac Fermions Weyl fermions.
3 Quantum matter with quasiparticles: Most generally, a quasiparticle is an additive excitation: Quasiparticles can be combined to yield additional excitations, with energy determined by the energies and densities of the constituents. Such a procedure yields all the low-lying excitations. Then we can apply the Boltzmann-Landau theory to make predictions for dynamics.
4 Quantum matter without quasiparticles: No quasiparticle structure to excitations. But how can we be sure that no quasiparticles exist in a given system? Perhaps there are some exotic quasiparticles inaccessible to current experiments.. Consider how rapidly the system loses phase coherence, reaches local thermal equilibrium, or becomes chaotic
5 Local thermal equilibration or phase coherence time, ' : There is an lower bound on ' in all many-body quantum systems as T! 0, ' >C ~ k B T, where C is a T -independent constant. Systems without quasiparticles have ' ~/(k B T ). In systems with quasiparticles, ' is parametrically larger at low T ; e.g. in Fermi liquids ' 1/T 2, and in gapped insulators ' e /(k BT ) where is the energy gap. K. Damle and S. Sachdev, PRB 56, 8714 (1997) S. Sachdev, Quantum Phase Transitions, Cambridge (1999)
6 A bound on quantum chaos: In classical chaos, we measure the sensitivity of the position at time t, q(t), to variations in the initial position, q(0), i.e. we measure =({q(t),p(0)} P.B.) By analogy, we define L as the Lyapunov time over which the wavefunction of a quantum system is scrambled by an initial perturbation. This scrambling can be measured by [Â(x, t), ˆB(0, 0)] 2 exp 1 where v B is the butterfly velocity. This time L was argued to obey lower bound 1 ~ L 2 k B T. There is no analogous bound in classical mechanics. L apple t x v B A. I. Larkin and Y. N. Ovchinnikov, JETP 28, 6 (1969) J. Maldacena, S. H. Shenker and D. Stanford, arxiv: ,

8 Disordered metals There is an extensive theory of metals in the presence of disorder and interactions (Altshuler, Aronov, Lee, Ramakrishnan, Finkelstein ) However the theory is only reliable in states in which quasiparticles are present. Often there is a flow to strong coupling, but it is invariably assumed that this leads to disordered insulators. But perhaps the strong coupling state is a metallic state without quasiparticles, in which the influence of disorder largely self averages.(there are many experimental indications this may be the case)

19 SYK and AdS2 Let us write the large N saddle point solutions of S as G s ( 1 2 ) ( 1 2 ) 1/2 s ( 1 2 ) ( 1 2 ) 3/2. The saddle point will be invariant under a reperamaterization f( ) when choosing G( 1, 2 )=G s ( 1 2 ) leads to a transformed G( e 1, 2) =G s ( 1 2 ) (and similarly for ). It turns out this is true only for the SL(2, R) transformations under which f( ) = a + b c + d, ad bc =1. So the (approximate) reparametrization symmetry is spontaneously broken down to SL(2, R) by the saddle point. A. Kitaev, unpublished
20 SYK and AdS2 Connections of SYK to gravity and AdS 2 horizons Reparameterization and gauge invariance are the symmetries of the Einstein-Maxwell theory of gravity and electromagnetism SL(2,R) is the isometry group of AdS 2. ds 2 =(d 2 + d 2 )/ 2 is invariant under 0 + i 0 = a( + i )+b c( + i )+d with ad bc = 1.

32 Quantum chaos is intimately linked to the loss of phase coherence from electron-electron interactions. As the time derivative of the local phase is determined by the local energy, phase fluctuations and chaos are linked to interaction-induced energy fluctuations, and hence thermal di usivity.
