It clearly explains the growing number of remarkable connections between very different areas of physics.' Gary Horowitz, University of California, Santa Barbara 'The book manages to convey big picture excitement while also providing computational details behind key results.' Sean Hartnoll, Stanford University, California '… this very readable book prepares theory graduate students and researchers to address the challenging problems posed by numerous experiments on modern quantum materials. The authors strike an excellent balance between extensive discussions of deep theoretical ideas and providing toolboxes for explicit computations.'
