* Phonons * The Cooper Problem * BCS wavefunction * Bogoliubov Excitation Spectrum * Majorana Physics
Here are the most recent notes [[ CLICK HERE | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2020/QuantumMatterMostRecent.pdf ]] Most recent updates: Finished chapter on Majoranas. Added small paragraph on Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon states. Here are older versions [[ April 29 2020 | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2020/QuantumMatterApr292020.pdf ]] Removes some typos. Adds sections addressing some of the questions that arose during class. Removes a few minor mistakes (a few discussed in the class). Started the chapter on Majoranas but not finished yet. [[ April 20 2020 | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2020/QuantumMatterApril202020.pdf ]] [[ April 1 2020 | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2019/QuantumMatterFullSummer.pdf ]] I will update the notes as we go (although I don't expect huge changes)
[[Oxford Quantum Matter 2020]]
Type the text for 'Easter Egg Lecture 2'
1. appearance and disappearance of earphones 2. compared to Lecture 1, the video is mirror imaged
Tie comes off in the middle, then goes back on.
!! The exam will be a several hour open-book take-home !! This is meant to roughly replace the usual two hour written exam. This should be fairly similar to the experience of sitting a normal exam except that you have access to your notes and whatever else you want (except other people) and you are not required to wear subfusc. Time is listed as 08 June 14:30 (See [[ here | https://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxford/field/field_document/DMTP1920T_1.pdf ]]). [[ Here | https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/open-book?wssl=1 ]] is the official info about taking open book exams.
The exercises still might be updated before the start of term depending on what else The first few exercises are [[ Here | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2020/Superfluids.pdf]]. After the first lecture you can get started on the first four. The due date for these first four exercises is Friday 2nd week. NOTE: There was an extra factor of V in the denominator of the last equation of the last problem in an earlier version of this assignment. It has now been fixed. The homeworks must be uploaded to the mmathphys website in the usual way. Second homework assignment is [[ Here | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2020/Superfluids2.pdf]]. The second homework will be due Friday 3rd week. Final homework assignment is [[ Here | http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2019/Superfluids3.pdf]] The final homework assignment will be due Friday 4th week. The questions on BCS from this assignment is optional. BCS is not on the exam.
* Introduction * Weakly Interacting Fermions ** Perturbation Theory ** Hartree Fock ** Effective Mass * Response Functions and Screening ** Thomas Fermi ** RPA ** Plasmons * Landau Fermi Liquid Theory
Classes will be in 3rd, 4th, 5th week. You should have received email from the TA discussing scheduling.
This information might be useful for others who want to make lecture recordings. Oxford university uses a system called [[Panopto | https://www.panopto.com/ ]] for lecture capture. Delightfully, it does not run on linux. I'm not sure what its capabilities are. But since I am fully linux, I needed another solution. For writing on an ipad, I use [[Good Notes | https://apps.apple.com/us/app/goodnotes-5/id1444383602 ]], but any writing program would be fine. The ipad is mirrored to the linux box using one of several apps. For the first two lectures I used [[AirbeamTV | https://www.airbeam.tv/ ]]. This may not be the best program of its kind, but it works OK. It dropped several times during the recording of the second lecture, so I tried [[ tvee.app | https://tvee.app/screen-mirroring ]] mirroring next. It suffered the exact same problems. Apparently this is a known problem of IOS. Next I tried skype screen sharing. This seemed to work well. The screen is then captured using [[Vokoscreen | http://www.kohaupt-online.de/hp/ ]] The recording is processed (cut, spliced, and reformatted) using [[Openshot | https://www.openshot.org/ ]]. I messed around with a few video processing programs and this is the only one that seemed to work in any intuitive way. Finally, I upload to youtube

[[This Video | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WretrG5uYdI ]] shows Helium 4 being cooled through the superfluid transition. Notice how the boiling suddenly stops. [[This article | https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.3490499 ]] shows Kamerlingh Onnes' notebook where he noted the discovery of superconductivity and discusses his comment about "something interesting happening" at 2.2 Kelvin.

This is the official web site for Quantum Matter course being taught by [[Steve Simon | http://oxfordquantummatter2020.tiddlyspot.com/ ]] in Trinity term 2020 as part of the [[ MMathPhys | http://mmathphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/ ]] program. !! [[ Lectures ]] are posted [[ here | Lectures ]]!!! For Oxford students, I believe the lectures will also be uploaded to Panopto. I'll post the link when I have it. If you want to know why I am prerecording lectures see [[ here | Why Recorded Lectures ]] . '' If you want to take this course for credit make sure that we have your name on our list''. Contact me if you are unsure if your name is on the list. (If you received an email from me saying that your name is on our list, then you do not need to contact me). There will be question-answer sessions ("office hours") 9 am mondays (as well as the usual homework classes held by the TA). Email me questions in advance if you want intelligent answers. Handwritten notes from these office hours are posted [[ here | Office Hour Notes ]]. !! Additional Information Assessment: You can take this course in either (a) Homework only mode or (b) Exam only mode. See [[Exam Info]]. You are welcome (and encouraged) to hand in homeworks if you choose (b), however, they will not count for anything. Course Prerequisites: Officially one should have a background in field theory (such as [[Advanced Quantum Theory | https://sites.google.com/site/sidparameswaran/teaching/c6-aqt-mt2019 ]] from MT2018). However, I am well aware that many people either did not attend this course (or perhaps did attend the course but didn't pay attention). At any rate, while I will use some of the material taught in that course, I hope to make much of this course self contained so that a wider audience may be able to benefit. If you are in the [[ MMathPhys | http://mmathphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/ ]], your TA is [[Matthew Steggles | https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/contacts/people/steggles]] This page is a [[ TiddlyWiki | http://tiddlywiki.com/ ]]. It can be edited by anyone, but you can only save the edits if you have the password.

I don't like recording lectures. I suspect most students don't like listening to recorded lectures either. However, the university is giving us fairly strong guidance that lectures should be recorded and not live. Here are some of the reasons. * Live lectures disadvantage students who might happen to be isolated at home in other time zones (we might have students in Taiwan, or Australia, or California). * At the very least we would want to record lectures even if they were given live. * However there are a number of GDPR issues associated with recording lectures because students generally will not have given permission to be recorded. Even if they do give permission, it is hard to prove they weren't coerced to do so. * If a lecturer falls ill for some time, recorded lectures is a safeguard While i was quite opposed to recording lectures in advance, this final reason in this list convinced me. While people in good health who are not too old are surviving COVID with high probability, this does not mean that a person might not fall ill and be out of commission for several weeks or longer.
