2 1 N ov 2 00 5 Exotic quantum phases and phase transitions in correlated matter ⋆

We present a pedagogical overview of recent theoretical work on unconventional quantum phases and quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems. Strong correlations between electrons can lead to a breakdown of two traditional paradigms of solid state physics: Landau’s theories of Fermi liquids and phase transitions. We discuss two resulting “exotic” states of matter: topological and cri...
