This is an excellent book written by three world leaders in this field. It provides a comprehensive discussion of the remarkable connections between gravity and condensed matter.
Gary Horowitz, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara
Over the last decade, a powerful and surprising synergy has emerged between string theory and condensed matter physics, greatly illuminating both of these once-disparate topics. This unique book, masterfully presented by founders of the subject, provides a comprehensive, pedagogical introduction to a promising new research frontier.
Andrew Strominger, Gwill E. York Professor of Physics, Harvard University
A beautifully clear and engaging book, written by the recognized masters of the subject. It shows what can be achieved when interactions are turned on between physicists working on condensed matter, high energy, and gravitation.
David Tong, Professor of Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge
A well-organized, comprehensive, and insightful overview of remarkable connections between string theory/gravity and condensed matter physics. It provides a wealth of solvable examples of strongly coupled quantum matter without quasiparticles, as well as exhaustive discussion of their equilibrium and transport properties, all through the lens of black hole physics.
Hong Liu, Professor of Physics, MIT
Holographic Quantum Matter, a new book by Sean Hartnoll, Andrew Lucas, and Subir Sachdev, gives an excellent conceptual overview of the field while providing enough technical detail for the reader to perform relevant computations.
