INTRODUCTION

In this textbook, the physics of matter, as a separate discipline from traditional quantum physics, is briefly presented.

The importance of matter physics is increasing nowadays, especially because of its many practical and applied implications, such as solid-state physics, semiconductor physics, plasma physics, and nanotechnology.

Two basic prerequisites are necessary to understand the physics of matter: knowledge of electromagnetism and knowledge of quantum physics.

Therefore, we will take for granted the implications of Maxwell's equations and the Schrodinger equation, as well as all the mathematics necessary for the full understanding of these mathematical formalisms.

The brevity of this handbook is intentional: this book is not intended to be a treatise on the physics of matter (there are already many, and their size certainly exceeds a hundred pages), but a general introduction to make one understand the immense application potential derived from quantum physics.
