Emphasis is on clear physical principles, while at the same time bringing students to the fore of today's research. - ;For most of the last century, condensed matter physics has been dominated by band theory and Landau's symmetry breaking theory. In the last twenty years, however, there has been the emergence of a new paradigm assoc
