The book, which is dedicated to Prof. Leonid V. Keldysh on his 75th anniversary, is a collection of review papers written by experts in condensed matter physics such as V. M. Agranovich, B. L. Altshuler, E. Burstein, V. L. Ginzburg, K. Von Klitzing, P. B. Littlewood, M. Pepper, A. Pinczuk, L. P. Pitaevskii, E. I. Rashba, T. M. Rice, etc. This is a guide-book of modern condensed matter physics, where the most important and hot topics of the field are reviewed. Topics covered include spintronics and quantum computation, Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons and the excitonic insulator, electron-hole liquid, metal-dielectric transition, coherent optical phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, composite fermions and the quantum Hall effect, semiconductor and organic quantum wells, microcavities and other nanostructures, disordered systems in condensed matter, many-body theory and the Keldysh diagram technique, resonant acousto-optics, and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy.
