Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) menjadi salah satu cabang fisika yang berkembang dengan sangat cepat. Perkembangan fenomena, konsep, dan teknik semakin bercabang, dan meluas begitu deras, begitu juga dengan diversitasnya. Mungkin masih ada yang merasa kabur dan asingnya makna CMP itu sendiri, apa yang dipelajari, dan tujuannya. Di kelompok garis kanan mungkin ada yang masih meragukan karir dari ilmu CMP ini. Dan dikelompok garis kiri mungkin ada yang mempermasalahkan bahwa CMP terlalu teknis, dan tidak se-teoritis ataupun tidak se-filosofis High Energy Physics(HEP) ataupun kosmologi.Tulisan ini mungkin belum akan dapat menjawab semua penasaran tersebut. Namun saya akan mencoba mengulas tentang CMP itu sendiri—yang berhasil membuat saya banting stir ketertarikan dari HEP dan Kosmologi.Artikel ini akan mendiskusikan tentang hirarki dan paradigma dalam sains, fisika khususnya, dilanjutkan membahas paradigma dan hal yang meng-drive CMP. Lalu akan mengulas emergent phenomena lebih dalam dan konsekuensi terhadap perkembangan teknologi, yang diulas secara historikal, lalu melihat sekilas pengaruh komunitas ilmuwan di bidang ini. Diakhiri akan membahas sedikit tentang bagaimana mempersiapkan diri untuk mempelejari CMP lebih dalam, dan rekomendasi rancangan studi bagi S-1.Tulisan ini jauh dari sempurna, yang hanya ditulis oleh mahasiswa S-1 semester 6 yang sedang menjalani studi formal mengenai CMP. Tulisan ini ditulis atas keinginan dan semangat tinggi untuk memperkenalkan CMP kepada khalayak ramai, dan berbagi ketertarikan. Semoga tulisan ini bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi yang membaca. Jangan biarkan High Energy Physics dan Cosmology merebut semua kesenangan!

ArgumentWhy do similar scientific enterprises garner unequal public approbation? High energy physics attracted considerable attention in the late-twentieth-century United States, whereas condensed matter physics – which occupied the greater proportion of US physicists – remained little known to the public, despite its relevance to ubiquitous consumer technologies. This paper supplements existing accounts of this much remarked-upon prestige asymmetry by showing that popular emphasis on the mundane technological offshoots of condensed matter physics and its focus on human-scale phenomena have rendered it more recondite than its better-known sibling field. News reports about high energy physics emphasize intellectual achievement; reporting on condensed matter physics focuses on technology. And whereas frontier-oriented rhetoric of high energy physics communicates ideals of human potential, discoveries that smack of the mundane highlight human limitations and fail to resonate with the widespread aspirational vision of science – a consequence I call “the purloined letter effect.”


This volume gathers the lectures notes of Session CVII of the Les Houches summer school of Physics, entitled “Current trends in Atomic Physics”. The school took place in July 2016 and had the goal to give the participants a broad overview of Atomic Physics as a whole, and in particular its connections to other areas of physics, such as condensed-matter and high-energy physics. The book comprises twelve chapters corresponding to lectures delivered at the school.

Recent theoretical studies of various strongly-correlated systems in condensed matter physics reveal that the lattice gauge theory (LGT) developed in high-energy physics is quite a useful tool to understand physics of these systems. Knowledge of LGT is to become a necessary item even for condensed matter physicists. In the first part of this paper, we present a concise review of LGT for the reader who wants to understand its basics for the first time. For illustration, we choose the Abelian Higgs model, a typical and quite useful LGT, which is the lattice version of the Ginzburg–Landau model interacting with a U(1) gauge field (vector potential). In the second part, we present an account of the recent progress in the study of ferromagnetic superconductivity (SC) as an example of application of LGT to topics in condensed matter physics. As the ferromagnetism (FM) and SC are competing orders with each other, large fluctuations are expected to take place and therefore nonperturbative methods are required for theoretical investigation. After we introduce a LGT describing the FMSC, we study its phase diagram and topological excitations (vortices of Cooper pairs) by Monte Carlo simulations.
