Applications to Condensed Matter Theory - Class 1

Explore the first lecture in a series on applications of holography to condensed matter theory, delivered by Aristomenis Donos from Durham University, UK. Delve into the cutting-edge intersection of holography and condensed matter physics as part of the "Holography@25: School" program organized by ICTP-SAIFR. Gain insights into how holographic techniques are being applied to understand complex phenomena in condensed matter systems. This 1 hour and 36 minute session serves as a foundation for the five-part series, introducing key concepts and methodologies that bridge the gap between string theory and practical applications in materials science.
