  1. 1. Kitaev models for topologically ordered phases of matter

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik

    Author : Eilind Karlsson; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Condensed matter physics is the study of the macroscopic and microscopic properties of condensed phases of matter. For quite some time, Landau’s symmetry breaking theory was believed to describe and explain the nature of any phase transition. READ MORE
