This textbook explores foundational and cutting-edge topics in condensed matter physics. Inspired by the influential work of Prof. Yuri Kagan, the book spans key areas such as Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluid helium, crystal lattice dynamics, and phonon physics. It also addresses electronic excitations in metals and superconductors, including the BCS theory, electron-phonon interactions, and metallic hydrogen. Professor Maxim Kagan extends this work with advanced lectures on strongly correlated electron systems, quantum hydrodynamics, and mechanisms of unconventional superconductivity. The book concludes with a focus on groundbreaking research by Prof. Yuri Kagan, covering topics such as quantum gases, metallic hydrogen, and high-temperature superconductivity. This textbook serves as both a tribute to Prof. Kagan's legacy and a comprehensive resource for students and researchers in theoretical condensed matter physics.

About the Author
Prof. Dr. Maxim Yu. Kagan was born in Moscow in 1961 and is a respected figure in the field of condensed matter physics. He is known for his contributions to the study of superconductivity and superfluidity. A product of the Landau school of Theoretical Physics, Prof. Kagan has built a career that bridges both academic teaching and advanced research.
He graduated with honors from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) in 1984, specializing in Theoretical Nuclear Physics. Following his studies, he joined the P.L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, where he conducted research under the guidance of Prof. A.F. Andreev. In 1989, he earned his Ph.D. with a thesis focused on superfluid properties in systems with complex ordering.
Prof. Kagan has held various research positions at the Kapitza Institute, ultimately earning his Doctor of Science degree in 1994. He was elected as a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2006, recognizing his contributions to physics.
In addition to his work in Russia, Prof. Kagan has held visiting positions at institutions around the world, including Amsterdam University, ETH Zürich, and the University of Cambridge. He has also been involved in teaching and research in the UK, Spain, and other European countries.
His research has been published in over 160 articles and four books, with topics ranging from low-temperature physics to superconductivity. While maintaining his academic responsibilities, Prof. Kagan continues to contribute to international collaborations and scientific conferences.
Prof. Kagan’s work has been recognized with several awards, including the Presidential Award for Young Professors and the Leverhulme Award in the UK. He has also been honored with medals from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Currently, Prof. Kagan is a Distinguished Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow, where he continues to teach and conduct research in condensed matter physics.
