Abstract
In this chapter, I discuss the impact of concepts of Quantum Field Theory in modern Condensed matter physics. Although the interplay between these two areas is certainly not new, the impact and mutual cross-fertilization has certainly grown enormously with time, and Quantum Field Theory has become a central conceptual tool in condensed matter physics. In this chapter, I cover how these ideas and tools have influenced our understanding of phase transitions, both classical and quantum, as well as topological phases of matter, and dualities.
