Quantum criticality and beyond — •Andrew Schofield — School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT United Kingdom.

The exploration of quantum critical points has provided an extraordinarliy fruitful direction for experimentalists and theorists alike to investigate new ordering principles for correlated matter. Beyond the basic concepts, the field has a number of outstanding questions which motivate current research - from the interplay between critical fluctuations and other forms of order, to the theoretical framework which governs quantum critical behaviour in physical systems. My talk will explore these questions and their context.
