= Quantum matter physics course of the University of Oxford
{tag=Condensed matter physics course of the University of Oxford}
2011- professor: <Steven H. Simon>. His start date is given e.g. at: http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/condmat2012/LectureNotes2012.pdf which is presumably an older version of: http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2022/QuantumMatter.pdf
Notes/book: http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/QCM2022/QuantumMatter.pdf Marked as being for <Oxford MMathPhys>, so it appears that this is a 4th year course normally. TODO but where is it listed under the course list of MMapthPhys? https://mmathphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/course-schedule
