Condensed Matter Theory from a Quantum Information Perspective (Lecture 1) - Anthony Leggett - 2015

Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis distinguished visiting professor Sir Anthony Leggett continues his 2015 lecture series on CMT From a QI Perspective at the Institute for Quantum Computing. June 16, 2015.

The course will cover various topics in condensed matter physics which are relevant to quantum information/computation, with emphasis on:

Open quantum systems and the theory of decoherence
The integral and fractional quantum Hall effects
Superconductivity, particularly with "exotic" pairing schemes.
