4 Modern phases of quantum matter: 1. Ground states disconnected from independent electron states: many-particle entanglement 2. Boltzmann-Landau theory of quasiparticles Famous example: The fractional quantum Hall effect of electrons in two dimensions (e.g. in graphene) in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The ground state is described by Laughlin s wavefunction, and the excitations are quasiparticles which carry fractional charge.

28 Fermi liquids: quasiparticles moving ballistically between impurity (red circles) scattering events Strange metals: electrons scatter frequently off each other, so there is no regime of ballistic quasiparticle motion. The electron liquid then flows around impurities
29 Wiedemann-Franz ;< metals and alloys. Up to a certain temperature, inelastic scattering determines the Lorenz number value, and below this the scattering is elastic which is due to impurities. Supression of the electronic contribution to thermal conductivity and hence the separation of the lattice and electronic parts of conductivity can be done by application of a transverse magnetic field and hence the Lorenz number can be evaluated. The deviation of the Lorenz number in some degenerate semi8 conductors is attributed to phonon drag.

69 Quantum critical point at optimal doping Transition is primarily topological. Main change is in the size of the Fermi surface. Symmetry-breaking and Landau order parameters appear to play a secondary role. The main symmetry breaking which appears co-incident with the transition is Ising-nematic ordering. But this symmetry cannot change the size of the Fermi surface; similar comments apply to time-reversal symmetry. Need a gauge theory for transition from topological to confined state.
