Condensed Matter Physics and Statistical Mechanics

Condensed matter physics strives to understand the structure, organization and functionality of a wide range of materials, ranging from biological materials to crystals. As such, it underpins a major part of today’s technologies.
Statistical mechanics uses individual properties of system components and their interactions to derive collective or emergent properties of the system. Today, statistical mechanical techniques are applied in many scientific fields in and outside physics. Beside Condensed Matter these include Computational Physics, Biophysics and Complexity.
