Holographic Superfluidity and Superconductivity
Published on: Tue Mar 09 2010
I went to a talk today in the Physics department. It is interesting in that I did not understand most of it, but at the same time I felt like I will be able to understand it eventually. Also, someone asked: “What dimension are we in?” Answer: Just 3 + 1
So, here are the interesting terms I heard today. I’ll need to investigate these further. Perhaps they will make good train reading.
- QCP – Quantum Critical Point
- QPT – Quantum Phase Transition
- Ads/CFT
- Nerst effect
- dyonic black hole
- cyclotron resonance
- Lorenzen (sp?) z=1
- phenomenological – Need a dictionary for this
- quiver: L263 (Included a neat picture)
- gluino field
- Holographic Phase Transition
- charged scalar field
- abelion gauge field
- tachyonic
- BPS bound
- modulus
I better take a few chemistry classes too or at least read a few textbooks.
