Quantum Materials: Particle Physics versus Condensed Matter Physics

What are Quantum Materials? (new jobs for young physicists!). Elementary particles (in Particle Physics) versus Quasiparticles (in Condensed Matter). It all began with Superconductors (from conventional to topological). Quantum Hall States: a wide platform for new ideas. What does it take to make the graphene so attractive? From Spin Hall Effect to Topological Insulators. From Graphene to Dirac and Weyl semimetals in three dimensions. Could true Quantum Spin Liquids be experimentally realized? Making new quasiparticles in condensed matter. Closing: Why are there analogies between condensed matter and particle physics?
