Condensed matter physics is the field ofphysics that deals with the macroscopic physical properties ofmatter. In particular, it is concerned with the "condensed" phase matter, phases that appear whenever the number of constituents in a system is extremely large and the interactions between the constituents are strong. The most familiar examples of condensed phases aresolids andliquids; more exotic condensed phases include thesuperfluid and theBose-Einstein condensate, thesuperconducting phase, and theferromagnetic andantiferromagnetic phases ofspins onatomic lattices.
