Handbook of Nuclear Physics

Abstract

We review quantum many-body phenomena in nuclear and quark matter which share similarities or universalities with condensed-matter physics. The focus is on the quantum phases of quark nuclear matter and topological transport phenomena due to the Berry phase of quark matter. The former includes nuclear superfluidity/superconductivity via the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) mechanism, Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of mesons, color superconductivity of quarks, BCS–BEC crossover phenomena and quark–hadron continuity, chiral soliton lattice of mesons, and the application of the notions of topological order and higher-form symmetry. The latter includes the so-called chiral magnetic effect and related phenomena. Their potential phenomenological implications as well as the close connections with a number of condensed-matter systems are also discussed.
