Title
Quantum Criticality in High Temperature Superconductors
Abstract
I will present an introduction to the theory of quantum phase transitions, and the novel physics present in their vicinity. The theory applies to many interesting condensed matter systems including the high temperature superconductors. I will argue that the theory sheds light on many of the most puzzling features of the phase diagrams of these superconductors.
