In this lectures I discuss the electronic liquid crystal (ELC) phases in correlated electronic systems, what these phases are and in what context they arise. I will go over the strongest experimental evidence for these phases in a variety…
I sketch some pressing questions in several active areas of particle physics and outline the challenges they present for the design and operation of detectors.
This is a review of the basic theoretical ideas of quantum criticality, and of their connection to numerous experiments on correlated electron compounds. A shortened, modified, and edited version appeared in Physics Today. This arxiv…
I provide a summary of the theoretical talks in Hard Probes 2012 together with some personal thoughts about the present and the future of the field.
These lectures introduce some of the basic notions of effective field theories, as used in particle physics. The topics discussed are the $\Delta S=1$ and $\Delta S =2$ weak interactions, and chiral perturbation theory as applied to mesons,…
I review aspects of the theory of the weak interaction in a set of lectures originally presented at the 2016 CERN-JINR European School of Particle Physics. The topics discussed are: (1) the experimental basis of the V-A structure of the…
In this talk, I address some open problems in hadron physics and stress their importance for a better understanding of QCD in the confinement regime.
It is the ultimate goal of this work to foster synergy between quantum chemistry and the flourishing field of quantum information theory. For this, we first translate quantum information concepts such as entanglement and correlation into…
Recent discoveries, as well as open questions, in experimentally realized correlated electron materials are reviewed. In particular, high temperature superconductivity in the cuprates and in the recently discovered iron pnictides, possible…
Electromagnetic polarizabilities describe the response of a system to the application of an external quasi-static electric or magnetic field. In this article experimental and theoretical work addressing the polarizabilities of the light…
Theoretical and experimental values to date for the resistances of single molecules commonly disagree by orders of magnitude. By reformulating the transport problem using boundary conditions suitable for correlated many-electron systems, we…
We give an outline of the anticipated physics program for a future electron ion collider. The status and prospects for construction of such a device are discussed.
It can be argued that electron correlation, as a concept, deserves the same prominence in general chemistry as molecular orbital theory. We show how it acts as Nature's "chemical glue" at both the molecular and supramolecular levels.…
This work explores a simple approximation to describe isolated impurity scattering in a strongly correlated metal. The approximation combines conventional one electron scattering theory and the Dynamic Mean Field Theory to describe strong…
A review is presented of the different theoretical models proposed to approach consistently the interplay between soft and hard physics, that can now be studied experimentally at HERA for the first time.

In this talk I describe recent progress in investigating the high energy limit of perturbative QCD. I review some of the steps that have been done in the direction of constructing an effective field theory for this limit. I describe some of…
The topic of the review is the application of new ideas of unconventional quantum states to the physics of condensed matter, in particular of solid state, in the context of modern field theory. A comparison is made with classical papers on…
To this day, the two-slit electron interference pattern remains shrouded in an inordinate mystery. It continues to defy a logical and rational explanation. This paper will postulate a new "characteristic" pertaining to the electron. If this…
The electronic phase diagrams of many highly correlated systems, and in particular the cuprate high temperature superconductors, are complex, with many different phases appearing with similar-sometimes identical-ordering temperatures even…
