Course Objectives		1- To convey basic methods in Condensed Matter Physics 2- To convey basic concepts and phenomenology in Condensed Matter Physics 3- To bring the student to the level of a beginning researcher in the fields of conventional and unconventional superconductivity, Quantum Hall Effect, Topological insulators and superconductors and quantum device physics 4- To investigate the physics of quantum devices that are based on the topics in the third section above.
Course Description		The aim of this one semester course is to provide a basic understanding of condensed matter physics as well as sufficiently comprehensible details for applications in most current research approaches. The content is not aimed at completeness but is planned to be encouraging and sufficient for additional self-development. The primary goal is to facilitate the understanding of interacting electronic matter, learn about its fundamental effects which will eventually lead to comprehend the physics of quantum coherent phenomena as well as their applications in quantum devices
Course Outcomes		The outcome of this course is the scientific level of the participating students that is needed for understanding the methods, concepts and theories in condensed matter physics, following the recent theoretical progress in connection with the experiments and producing new knowledge in their PhD research.
Pre-requisite(s)		Undergraduate level of Classical Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Mathematical Methods in Physics and Engineering. Additional knowledge in thermodynamics, quantum optics, field theory in fluids and elastic bodies can be helpful.
Required Facilities		The course will be on the blackboard.
Other
Textbook		No single textbook is used in this course. A list of recommended books and other sources, such as open coursewares in the internet, are provided to the students in the beginning of the semester.
