Quantum statistical physics is fundamental in the description of superfluid Helium, metals and ordinary conductivity, superconductivity, and other quantum phenomena of matter. One of the initiators of the field was Landau himself, many famous models are named after him. Carrying this on, Philip Anderson coined the name "condensed matter physics" and developed the technique of symmetry breaking and Anderson localization. Anderson's symmetry breaking and the resulting Goldstone-Bosons originated here, despite the fame of the Higgs mechanism in the Electroweak theory that explains how many fundamental particles appear to gain mass. | Quantum statistical physics is fundamental in the description of superfluid Helium, metals and ordinary conductivity, superconductivity, and other quantum phenomena of matter.
